2017 Collage, hand colored relief print with watercolor imagery.

We are taught in meditation that God is in the Gap - the Whitespace. Seeking God's guidance through prayer requires stillness, silence, whitespace to hear the still small voice of God. My piece has a large whitespace hovering above an image of two moths in reflection, representing our physical and spiritual sides, above a room-divider/doorway. Which way do we go in our lives? What is important? How shall we live? I have used the lowly moth instead of the exquisite butterfly to represent us. The whitespace is essential, not extraneous in my piece - it asks us to quiet our hearts & minds to listen for the still small voice of God.

My piece is about overcoming chronic fatigue. The woven black bars hold me back from living the full life I desire. However the fierceness of spirit, represented by "flames" & vibrant colors, breaks through the prison.
