Laid Bare Painting

This piece is part of my Red Thread series. The Red Thread represents the gift of creativity given to us by the Divine. Laid Bare was created with oil paint and found objects. For me, “laid bare” is the point when everything feels as hard as it can possibly get, and there is nowhere to hide. I’ve been there recently. At first the feelings were very negative; helplessness, shame, frustration, insecurity. (The words are spread across the dog's ribs, and eventually fall onto the floor below it). Part way through the process, I gave up, and felt detached, defenseless, uninhibited. I realized that there was nothing I could do but step back and watch the process unfold. In the end I realized that the whole journey was a gift and I finally felt healed, nourished and evolved. The emotions I shed as I went through this process lay open on the cutting room floor for all to see. For me, what started the process of growth and renewal was fully embracing me Red Thread again after many years of only engaging a small piece of it.
