2020

Forever autonomous, wild, moving, infinite, omnipresent, beloved, soft, electric, woman

“A rite of passage into the woman’s gaze, energy, sound, spirit and beyond. 2020 is an ongoing, unveiling, intergenerational collaborative work apart of, “Valor: Cielo de Mujeres” which has yet to be released.Intentionally weaved to take up space and bring more energy towards woman themed work birthed and delivered into the world through the woman’s senses.The work is driven by the numinous nuances that the wild woman holds the freedom to embody. There comes an in between point where she learns to know that she, herself, is the artist while simultaneously the work of art. From woman to woman, the sharing of a woman’s story, dream, longing desire, song, wound, truth, thought, word, gift, food, embrace and promise are all of a sacred exchange. The presence of a woman’s gaze announces change. Familiarize yourself with that moment, person, or thing where there has been a significant life experience which has acted as a catalyst for one’s personal (r)evolution. One will find their Self introspectively at the threshold of intersections, however, whether one chooses to meet their self there in actuality depends on their curiosity and willingness to let go of familiarity. Ready or not, there is a calling and each person responds how they do. 2020 quilts an ode to those who find themself in between realities scaling truths. To those who have travelled into, about and through the wild returning sharper with each and every time. Alas, to those who sit, listening and feeling the great wisdom of the womb. ”
