Followers of Sandra Muss’ artistic career and her talent for bringing together disparate raw materials that are often derived from nature and other sources, will no doubt be surprised and delighted with her latest works. Her new series “Permutations" incorporates re-used industrial doors that are scratched and nicked and weather-worn by decades of factory life, which she now repositions as structures that not only serve metaphorically as gateways to other dimensions, they also collectively represent the experiences of life, both spiritual and emotional. With these new pieces, Muss becomes a visual alchemist who enjoys the challenge of abstractly illustrating with her doors the choices we make throughout our lives; bringing us love, growth and life-transforming opportunities.
