I've just started bringing dance into my life, so I wanted to celebrate this new passion through this painting. I have always loved to dance and am now allowing the movement to inspire me to create from a deeper place within. I don't know where dance is leading, but I feel so many creative sparks lighting the night sky with my movement.
This is an old painting made into a new image. I learned that when painting abstract it is a helpful idea to move the image around from horizontal to vertical as sometimes the energy of the work wants to be expressed another way. A friend and I both agreed that this painting communicated its truth when displayed vertically.
I was thinking about the notion of disclosure, disclosing to oneself, to another. When our wound, our vulnerability opens to the world it can feel like everything is falling apart. This painting visualizes the break pointing where our truth needs to have air to breath, where we can voice our pain, be honest with ourselves and remove the shame we have about every feeling we have judged as wrong or bad. When we can truly express all our feelings then the colors of life become deeper, richer, and more vibrant. Now we can create from a truthful place that brings our gifts to the light.
