"The Way Out is the Way" (aka the Minotaur ) was one in a series of six assemblages I created for the conceptual 2017 Myths & Legends duo exhibition (with artist friend Joshua Coffy of @giftprolific) at Secession Art & Design. This piece later was won and acquired by a collector at ArtSpan's 2018 Benefit Auction. Legend has it that the Minotaur was the offspring of a magnificent snow-white bull and that of Pasiphaë, the wife of King Minos of Crete. Being the unnatural offspring of a woman and a beast, the Minotaur grew to become brutal and ferocious. An enormous labyrinth was constructed to contain him. My version of this Minotaur has found autonomy within his confines, gratitude for his solitude and acceptance of his supernatural self. #minotaur #supernaturalself #thewayout #thewayin #labyrinth #greekmythology #mythicalcreature #legends #assemblageart #assemblageartists #foundobjectart #diannehoffmanart #bringingobjectstolife #acceptance https://www.instagram.com/p/CZCmkRzpyQf/?utm_medium=tumblr

"What are you doing?" Takin pictures "Of what?" Mushrooms "Oh, we have lots. Wanna come in and look around?" Oh. My. Gawd. How many times have I stood outside these portals, wishing? I got to go through today. . #portal #gateway #magicdoor #thewayin #eastofthesunandwestofthemoon #wishesgranted https://www.instagram.com/p/B6wkNJfprEK/?igshid=dp4en0l59qwj

Sometimes the way to milk and honey is through the body. Sometimes the way in is a song. But there are three ways in the world: dangerous, wounding, and beauty. To enter stone, be water. To rise through hard earth, be plant desiring sunlight, believing in water. To enter fire, be dry. To enter life, be food. #thewayin #lindahogan #greatwesterndivide #highsierratrail
