Carolyn Krieg is interested in the psyche and the sacred, masks and archetypes, myth and spirit, the nether world, transporting fragments of memory into the present, in attempting to give a greater understanding of the subliminal.  The reinterpretation affected by high technology adds a cryptic dimension to ancient, timeless imagery.
In these works, figures float across the surface or burn deeply into the darkness, their blurred outline a negative space marking an original presence.  These images leave only an ethereal void or memory on the consciousness of the environment...an artist's mark of existence in absentia. .-from  Seattle Collects Seattle, Beth Sellars, Independent Curator, 1997
