Within these artworks a combination of metaphysical and physical mediums interact with one another through various layers of translation in order to create a surreal atmosphere or a false reality. Questions arise on what it means to care for and be cared for, in a way that we would like. Historically, being cared for has been associated with Indigenous people of color, women, and slavery. In many ways studio rituals become a necessity for self care and survival. For artists studio rituals fulfill something both spiritual and emotional. My chosen method of self care, meditation, and healing stems from creation.
Thank you!
