Cathartic Art
Some people are wanting to process something emotionally through the piece. Creating something beautiful out of painful memories has the potential to move one through grief, heal wounds, or transform the meaning of a memory.
Rising from the ashes
The first piece, with the caged bird, was built using inspiration from painful memories. It was designed to be burned.
We burned the piece together on the beach. Ashes and whatever metal survived was collected. I then incorporated those elements into the second piece. The golden urn holds the ashes from the first piece.
Straight on till morning
