My Daddy Loved Jazz, detail
ARTIST STATEMENT — Maria Inez Winfield, PhD.: My art straddles the intersectionality of language and visual arts. The two are inextricably woven into the fabric of my existence, and I encourage my audience to imagine with me. I believe my craft invites ekphrasis and hope the words that emerge are positive motivating change agents. For me, love, peace and joy are a conviction. I am convinced that my art and language are obligated to create opportunities for harmony and engagements with optimism. Therefore, I consciously seek ways to express an aesthetic of hope in my work. By this I mean that I endeavor to create love, peace and joy by design. Most of my work is created from recycled materials such as old windows, antique mirrors and even tree bark. Very few pieces are without some element of collage. For example, a genuine Amethyst cabochon adorns the ear of the woman in “Avoiding Capture” and “Mary Elizabeth” wears a cultured pearl brooch. African American women and girls with hyperbolic eyes are favorite subjects because I still believe that dark-skinned sisters are too often underrated in a world that practices pigmentocracy. As a critical race theorist, I celebrate the often overlooked and frequently neglected women of color as vehicle for change. “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things… And the God of peace will be with you,” (Philippians 4:8-9).
