My Divine Comedy
ARTIST STATEMENT " MY DIVINE COMEDY"
Im exploring a series I call " My Divine Comedy" ...a series of my life experiences and thoughts. Is this my my final farewell, my final statements, my final laughable tongue and cheek works making the viewers wonder if she is sane, weird or both? They are honest raw unfiltered visual statements. I treasure my weirdness for it makes me unique. Art has kept me sane in my own weird way.

"Trippin on Ambrosia" Artist: Linda Lee Ligocki , Ink drawing on archival vellum, Image 14"×14"" 2025. It is ambrosia...the intoxicating smell of sweetness in the air that transports us on that flying carpet into the unknown future...a barren future where the road is ever changing or doesn't exist until we make a choice..and that choice is the one that determines what becomes today. Linda Lee Ligocki
" Trippin over no air" Artist Linda Lee Ligocki ink on vellum, image 14x14. 2025 Grasping, blowing nothing happening remembering how easy it used to be to fill the sky with bubbles or to blow up the balloons...ones lungs can't inhale.... ones lungs can't exhale... helpless....panic just wanting one more breath.
"Trippin' Overwhelming Emotions" Artist: Linda Lee Ligocki, Ink drawing on vellum, Image 14x14. 2/2025. Tears flow in response to profound emotional experiences, encompassing a broad range of feelings, including joy, love, birth, death, and the complexities of life. Overwhelmed by the demands of human existence, one seeks connection with compassionate and empathetic beings who provide unconditional support and understanding. Linda Lee Ligocki
"Trippin' over pain" Artist Linda Lee Ligocki, ink on vellum. Image 14"×14". 2025. Pain comes in many forms...from physical to emotional...it whirls around and around...entangles ones entire being...relentless...no escape...until one finds the one solution..face it and acknowledge it ...for it shall pass.
TRIPPIN OVER CON-VO-LUT-ED", Artist Linda Lee Ligocki , ink on vellum, image 14x14. 12/2024. A new series I started. Reflecting back on my Trippin' Hand Series....I truly have a passion for direct drawing on vellum...such commitment when the pen hits the surface...unforgiving, direct, contemplative, and cathartic. It takes concentration and focus knowing that once I make the decision to draw and ink flows there is no turning back. This piece is about no matter which side you politically stand for; nonetheless, we are their puppets and both parties are convoluted . In the end it is all decided by two parties that are convoluted...hence the donkey with the elephant head and the elephant body with the donkey head.
