Visual Artist Exploring Transformation Through Image & Form
Monique Stauder's practice moves between presence, inner listening, and the instinctive need to create across materials. Her work reveals the subtle threads that bind distinct experiences into one living whole -- an invitation to see the unseen tapestry that connects us all.
“There is that in me – I do not know what it is but I know it is in me. Wretch’d and sweaty – calm and cool then my body becomes, I sleep – I sleep long. I do not know it – it is without name – it is a word unsaid, it is not in any dictionary, utterance, symbol. Something it swings on more than the earth I swing on, To it the creation is the friend whose embracing awakes me. Perhaps I might tell more. Outlines! I plead for my brothers and sisters. Do you see O my brothers and sisters? It is not chaos or death – it is form, union, plan – it is eternal life – it is Happiness.” Walt Whitman
