Issues in My Tissues

My emotional biography is reflected in my physical body.  My past experiences have made deep impressions on the substance and form that I call home.   

In this new series of embroideries, I imagine the organs within my body and their emotional content.  My issues are imbedded in my tissues.  Through the practice of making art, I acknowledge my biography and soul history and develop a conscious imagination of my current state of being.

As the same time, throughout this project, I will be working to create a new imprint for physical well-being. By imbuing my soul with new thoughts and new feelings, I have the power to transform my self and imagine my body anew.  Each self-portrait image will be contrasted with an enlivened image that places trust in the process of self transformation.
