Artist Statement:
Carolyn Morris Bach lives on a remote seventy acres
in the woodlands of Southern Rhode Island. Her studio
is surrounded by pastures and forests and impacted
directly by the cycles of seasons which connect her to
the natural environment and its visual expression in
figurative imagery.
For 30 years, her work has developed along themes
which are keyed to visual metaphors – often found in
older iconographies – representing the powers of sun,
moon, wind, rain, stones, plants and a selection of
animals residents that determine the rural,
non-industrial landscape.
