these emotions on various substrates that allow her a focused spectrum of color. Knox

Knox says about the Conflict Series: "In general our brief lives on Earth consist of the struggle
between the good or evil outcomes of actions and decisions by us collectively & individually.
Recent history illustrates an increase in the conflict within ourselves with respect to this issue.
Personally I have always been philosophically very aware of the consequences that result from
the choices made between these polarities in life."

The Conflict series was the primary piece of an installation exhibition at the Museum of American
Art, part of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. These drawings are 7
feet high and were meant to be seen as a group that told an allegorical tale of the internal war
within human consciousness between good & evil. Knox says she chose women for models
because in her experience with many feminist groups women report a spiritual burden they feel
relative to the devaluing of life. After all, she adds, the earth is populated through the bodies of
women.
