LIMINAL SPACE

The vision for this collection of canvas scrolls came to me in that hazy, liminal time between sleeping and waking, almost like a dream. The notion of liminal can be described as poised at a threshold, or in a transitional stage, where you are both where you were and where you are going. I also feel myself to be in a liminal state, processing my life since my mother’s passing in the summer of last year. The act of creating was a balm throughout her decline, and often claimed with a vengeance. Now, I seek an ease and freedom of expression that is slowly arriving. I welcomed the vision for these long, slender scrolls because they offered their own set of constraints and creative challenges, nurturing my practice, nudging me along my path.
