“Call of Vision” Artist Statement:

I think of her death and sit with my pain

I take a breath of surrender

(in one instance with my lungs, and in many with a paint brush)

I look at my canvas and see symbols of birth

I cry in release, I dance in astonishment

and I bow my head

I wonder,

For as long as we deny that we are death just as much as we are life

For as long as we allow our perceived binaries to deny our oneness

Will we be fighting ourselves?
