artist statement
“letting go” visually explores layers of constriction that we carry within ourselves, perhaps tucked away, hidden deep within – old wounds, untruths about ourselves, physical and emotional restrictions. stillness, meditation, prayer and non-reactivity allow these tight areas to soften, release and bubble up resulting in new levels of freedom.
