Comments on My Work

Toby Stein, a fellow resident artist at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, writes:

"Lynda Smith-Bugge's sculpture hit me where I live. I knew nothing about her background or beliefs, and there were no obvious religious symbols in her work, yet looking around her studio at VCCA the first time, I felt as though I were in a place of prayer. As it turns out we come from very different religious traditions, and are each currently in very different religious traditions, which is not contiguous with the other's. But my initial response to the work was borne out by later visits with it. Here I sense, were sculptures in which the Holy Spirit was welcome; and the Shehinah, God's nurturing aspect, was embraced - and embracing. I saw in the work a risk to go deep --- inside the wood and inside the sculptor. The sculptures are wonderfully unalike, but each reveal the artist's impulse to seek a connection to the Divine Who, while remaining elusive, beckons us on. There is in the work both humility and courage. And, to my eyes, a beauty stretching toward the sacred."
