                   Biography


C. Bangs
 has been exhibiting herwork,internationally, for over twenty-five years. In 1997, she created an installation at Audart for "The Art & Technology Circus". Through a combination of paintings and sculpture, some of them self-portraits; others depicting images of her late father, C Bangs depicted the cycle of birth, death and rebirth,
with her father in the image of The Green Man,
 a male archetype of oneness with Earth, and herself as the Earth Goddess Gaia. An altar, at
the center of the installation, held a clay sculpture of her father as he approached death
or the end of his life on earth. C Bang's work has, historically, been scientific in nature, as she works equations and quantum diagrams around
or over the figures in her paintings. The figures themselves are images of family and friends.
The personal element in Bangs work helps her
to better understand her own feelings about
 death and rebirth and to draw parallels between the Earth's ecology and the human body.
