All is yours when the morning comes

A kind of resurrection from numbness - these new works engaged with the pull of the unknown. They vacillate between what was, what is, and what could be, along with the messiness of healing while being haunted by the emotional intensity of a near death experience.

While making this work by moonlight, the artist used writing as meditation to locate herself, emotionally and spiritually - even when she didn’t know where she was going. That is sacred work. Images from the Tarot add a mystical, surreal layer. Spirit guides in the form of mud people from the bottom of the river suggest that insight comes from messy, earthy places, not just intellectual ideals. It underscores the theme of transformation emerging from discomfort.

It was also a work of becoming. Of the self from behind the masks of wife, lover teacher, public servant, good woman. Of asking, again and again and again: Who was I before I was theirs?
