Looking Within: a series of Three: Part 2
The 2nd and 3rd oil pastels began late
in the summer as the book edits intensified. I was pushed to want to be
creative as a balance to the hours of reading text and moving around images on
the computer as I edited the book. I needed to get lost in that mystifying
process of touching a blank surface and revealing an image that conveys a truth
about what I was thinking about.
The second piece was also a vertical, entitled:
“Empathy’s Grace” 62”x43”
2013 oil and oil pastel on rag paper
Chaos
Spins
in vortex held
Quickens a breath
Within
slender thread,
Spun, then pulled
Revealing
that terrors pause,
The still points
edge deep within.
How do we find
that still point within, especially when all around us it
seems our world is in
chaos?
