Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Louis Kahan
Mari Mahr Symbols of ourselves “All through the ages and in all cultures there have been effigies made to represent us - sometimes for religious reasons, sometimes for commerce and sometimes just for play. My house is full of them. I see these faces around me not as specific representations of particular people, but representing all people. This generic quality has made them especially suited to their being cast as characters with universal significance in some of my previous works. These portraits are a tribute to this international ensemble that surrounds me.”
