Two pieces from three that I've been referring to as Yin and Yang. Both created from conversations I've had with people close to me. A lot of my studio work is hard for me to set in motion -- my mind gets in the way of my ability to accomplish. I tend to think and not do. This work represents a triumph/victory for me in stepping out of the decade-long block behind which I've been hiding.
Y I N // In my yoga practice and in life, I am very Yang-dominant. I talk fast and walk fast. My thoughts are always racing. My acupuncturist gives me this diagnosis regularly, "Yin deficient." This conversation with my mother was intense and challenging. I can't even remember what it was about... All I do recall is that it ended up very light and loving and in a place of acceptance. This piece is special to me.
Y A N G // The relationship with my husband is both, a challenge and a joy. He pushes me, doesn't put up with my junk, and lifts me up to such heights that I never knew existed. This piece has a lot of layers and moods, surprisingly, established with great ease and fluidity.
