Artist Statement: The person who can remain neutral in a contentious situation often facilitates balance and is able to see all sides of a “story”, helping others to forgiveness and reconciliation. However, as this piece exhibits, there are spots of “hot red” amongst the neutrals—it can be very hard to be the “peacemaker”.
