Journey of Hope 2017 Exhibit: Work in Progress Video

Pending: Posting video soon. I’m sorry. I’m suffering from technical difficulties.

In this video, you can see the unfolding of this piece for the Journey of Hope exhibit. I was worried about trusting my intuition on this painting. You see, intuition forms the foundation of my creative process, I have to get in touch with it to find the image for the predetermined theme in the random spatter of paint. Yet, on this piece I had to create from a piece of writing given to me by the exhibit coordinators. I don’t know anything about the writer other than what she or he described about their mental health journey.

What if I made this extremely feminine piece and the writer turned out to be a very manly man? But I have to relax and accept that I won’t really know the significance of the image until I meet my writer at the show reception. At least, I’m hoping my writer is planning to be there! When have you just had to trust it would all work out?
