The title of this series refers to the weight, the gravity of things not
said - for whatever reason. Those little things can become, over the
years, like rocks trapping one in a suffocating tomb.
Working on this series was powerfully healing for me. It helped me
understand how potent visual language can be as a catalyst for
emotional re-integration, and how the act of creating is essential
to healing the gaping wound that signifies an apparent estrangement
from the wholeness of existence. |
