Shadow Puppet
Artist Statement:
Anxieties are the perfect catalysts for creation. They turn apathy into obsession. They make emotion kinetic. Larrabee’s figurative sculptures embody ambiguous, self-referential narratives that act as a resolution between Larabee and her anxieties. The Shadow Puppet series is a venture into the gloom of the unfortunate and thankfully occasional life experiences with the intent of finding the good within the darkness. Without the shadow, the abstracted outline of a silly bunny could not exist.
