Maxine R. Cable's new room sized installations Myths of Creation, Kaliyuga 2,
Impermanence, explore cycles of change and the diverse belief systems of many cultures.
Elements from earlier works increase an ongoing dialogue with the concept of impermanence.
Found objects, metaphors for the illusive content, popular stuff, beach balls representing lost worlds,
toy dinosaurs reminding the view of extinct powerful creatures, sound and light enhance the mood,
sometimes frightening and sometimes fun. Natural objects identify decay and renewal in our world system.
Maxine R. Cable is well known for her provocative installations and assemblages and has
exhibited extensively in the Washington area and throughout the United States and internationally.
In 2002, exhibitions include Art in Embassies Program, U.S. Department of State, Rangoon, Burma;
