soft spaces (2023)
“soft spaces” is a collection of mixed media artwork on 100% natural, silk chiffon fabric.
“soft spaces” is an exploration of the physical and energetic spaces, places and things that support us in embodying a feeling of softness, amidst a chaotic, “hard” world. these are the spaces in which our shoulders soften, our gaze steadies and our heart calms / the spaces in which we feel fully seen and held / the spaces in which we feel safe, home and grounded / the spaces we seek when we feel afraid and alone. the use of silk chiffon — a gentle, sheer and soft fabric — is used to invite the viewer to turn inward and inquire on softness as a holistic sensory experience.
“what does softness feel, sound, taste like?”
“what does it feel like in my body to be soft?”
“how do I relate to the softer parts of my physical body?
“who in my life makes me feel soft?”
“what thoughts, emotions and actions create a sense of softness in my spirit?”
