In my most recent series of prints entitled the "Intangible Series," I have
used symbolic abstract forms to communicate emotion, conflict, and love. With
the intention of communicating love, all of the forms have been created in
reference to the shape of a traditional heart. Some of these forms reference
organic forms, such as the leaves of plants. However, each form has a symbolic
quality meant to contain or be contained by some unexplainable feeling or
emotion. In the same way, the heart entraps life-sustaining fluids, and
is itself entrapped within the body.
"Emergence" is an extension of the thoughts placed within the "Intangible
Series." The tall and narrow shape of the piece is meant to surround the
viewer. Allowing them to become amerced in an environment of pure emotion.
This is a very spiritual piece for me, symbolizing a want and need for
spiritual growth.
