Spring Meditation
Gouache and Embroidery Thread on Paper
From a series I call Meditative Journeys where my insights
on women, spirituality, and art come together. For me, art is a
meditative, intuitive experience wherein time and space become
irrelevant. Art is healing, a catalyst for change, a way to gain
focus and self-awareness.
I was inspired to create art that came from
my spirit to hopefully provide
a path to peace, a means to step out of the chaos of the moment to a
place of stillness and calm. Each piece was created while listening
to
CDs performed by Michael Hoppe. One in particular, Invisible
Journeys.
contains several pieces of music comprised of various chants.
The act of making repetitive lines as well
as sewing on paper with embroidery thread becomes my mantra.
