Splitting the World Open (this was a WIP title. Actual titles forthcoming)
Looks are deceiving here--someday, I'll get the technology figured out. The square paintings are 18"x18" and the rectangular are 18"x27". I haven't decided the order of the paintings yet. The process started for each painting as a rubbing of items that were symbolic of my childhood and the things that hook us as adults so that we go back to that child self. I was looking for transcendence and transformation. The title comes from a Muriel Rukeyser quote: What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open.

Secrets of light and of dark. Manifestations of natural phenomena. Digital images of nebulae. Ancestral stories and myths. Dialogues of spiritual quests. Universal archetypes. Textural Components. And the concept of Wabi-Sabi. All influence the lyrical abstract projections of my truth. Early in the painting process, a metaphor arises, providing the foundation that supports the piece until compositional integrity is achieved. In addition to acrylic paint and mediums, I often use metallics and interference to push the drama of light and dark further, and random objects find their way into the composition to push the story further.
