The imagined places from which the viewer sees a rocky protrusion in "Key Hole Rock Storm" is an anchored or stranded site, and one can almost hear the water lapping with an insistent repetition. Each part of the islet stands as a dual silhouette of equal stature a male and a female form. The reflection of water matches the sky and surrounds her personified abstraction with a pewter-like metallic surface. This immateriality mutes her color harmonies and bends her shapes into an ethereal vision. |

In a sudden turnabout, Sferra's "Moon Night" increases the physicality of the most ephermeral element sky to place a full moon above a weighty emptiness. Here she evokes a sense of uncertainty mixed simultane ously with a curiosity about the unknown. These compelling aspects of mystery and duality are characteristic of her work.

In essence, Sferra's paintings, while promising a calm and solitary reverie, enter into a mystical world where the basis of experience and memory questions its physical orientation, thereby imbuing them with poetic tension. by Rachel Youens
