INVOCATION

This series is about surrender. The willingness to stand in the dark unknown yields an unexpected gift. Here it is feathers — a blessing of beauty and a promise of flight. 

While making this work, I practiced standing meditation outside at night. If I stood still long enough, a subtle shift would happen and some sense of benevolence would surround me. I wanted these collages – constructed of photo-transparencies, maps, handwriting, stitched tissue and feathers – to honor that feeling of grace.
