Chaos I: In an Astrology text I read sometime ago, my combination of Sun Sign, Moon Sign and Rising Sign (Sagittarius, Scorpio, Aries) was described as "Harmony thru Chaos". The more experiences in life I have, the better that describes what I go through.
Ambivalence: I enjoy making collages from magazine pictures and texts. As in much of my work, I start not knowing where the process will take me. This piece came in the latter stages of the break-up of my marriage and had to do with dealing with the conflicting emotions of love, distress, anger, and hopelessness. The matador has always been a strong symbol for me. I was taken to bullfights in Mexico when I was 5 and continued to be impressed and enthralled into my twenties where I attended more professional fights in Spain. Facing death, whether real death or the death of part of your life calls us to not only courage and bravery, but a leap of faith.
Goddess of the Deep Dark: While in an art expression class last year, I made this mask which symbolizes the darkest, underworld part of me. She rarely is given a voice because I'm supposed to be a nice person, but I've found that when she can't speak her mind in some form, there are repercussions--depression, anxiety, headaches, backaches, bitchiness leaking out all over the place! She also sometimes comes out as The Demoness of Self-Hatred if she's been locked in the "basement" too long.
Hiding Within: Another expression of depression. I'm finding, however, that there's no where to hide.
