“Reflections Within,” one of my Muted Landscape series, is a view of our  earth that is at once expansive and frightening. A landscape as if seen  frommiles high, muted and defaced by both the gray color and by the  great height. But “muted” has meaning beyond color and tone.  Disappearing before us under the advance of population and industry, the  Earth is not able to call for help.   Our earth, the mother of us all, is silenced as pieces are dismembered  and burned.  So too the mothers and  women of this world, their bodies, their rights, and their spirit continually  under attack.  They, too, are told to  “shut up” and their voices, muted, are not heard.
