Context
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Conceptual work with echoes of alchemy, bringing together two traditional opposites in folklore – chalk and cheese – to create a mythical yet symbolic hybrid compound playfully named cheealk.  Yet destroying forever the absolute verity of the familiar saying ” as different as chalk from cheese“, the work points the viewer toward oneness of apparent opposites and reminds of the ever-present potential for resolution of seemingly intractable conflict, indeed the inexorable over-time destiny of everything being a return to unity.
