"We are very happy to be here,"
Pawlowska said. "e people in
Fayetteville have shown us great
hospitality and enormous support."
"Icons in Transformation" features
over 100 selections from Pawlowska's
original collection of more than
200 pieces, as well as 15 traditional
icons made by iconographers at the
Vasilevsky Monastery in Suzdal,
Russia.
e term icon comes from the
Greek word meaning "image" and
it is used to refer to religious works
of art from the Eastern Orthodox
Church, Oriental Orthodoxy, Roman
Catholic and certain Eastern Catholic
churches. Icons are most commonly
associated with portrait-style images
concentrating on one or two central
figures, including Christ, Mary,
saints or angels, though there may be
other religious imagery as well. Both
traditional and modern icons are
sometimes described as "windows to
heaven."
Pawlowska describes her
contemporary work with icons as
"three-dimensional paintings." Using
a unique style of iconography, she
builds up reliefs employing various
symbolic colors and mixed media,
including wood, metal, fabric, stones,
ceramics and objects such as fossils
and coins. Combining painting and
sculpting techniques, the artist builds
the constructs in a step-by-step, layer-
by-layer manner to express her visual
ideas. Some of the works were created
some 20 years ago, when Pawlowska
began making icons in her studio in
Sweden. Others were made this year.
Pawlowska is continually adding to the
exhibit and adapting it.
"Each piece starts with a question,"
she said. "What I make is my attempt
to answer the question. Ideas come
to me and they can be easy to start,
