The Artist's Prayer --
"Great Creator,
I'll take care of the quantity; You take care of the quality."
Amen.
Julia Cameron
The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity (1992)
Antique Womb (2015)
I made this representation of my womb from a gourd. Aging and approaching menopause were the musings that generated its bronze-like colors and blood stains on the vessel in acrylic paints, with garnet (and one rhinestone) droplet embellishments. The interior, in shades of midnight blue with twinkling gold, represents the depths of the universe from whence I came.
