from m i n i a t u r e s to METAPHORS

the art of Becky Hyberger
Making art is the vehicle I use to maneuver through my interior life. My art is the place in
my heart where I am able to make connections between the physical and the spiritual; the
interior and the exterior; the personal dream and the larger vision of the community.
Building miniature constructions is a multi faceted process that illuminates transformation.
Sometimes my emphasis is on the physical object being created . . . the miniature. Other
times, it is on the idea behind the physical thing . . . the metaphor. For example; a tin box
becomes a suitcase and an open suitcase becomes a journey. A degree in psychology, a
passionate interest in the hidden language of dreams and a fascination with the creative
process are the underpinnings for my work.
