As I look back at my works from our Proof of Concept exhibition as a beginning point to move forward, the prospect of a new beginning feels quite daunting. Yet, the more rational parts of me know there is much to discover if I can take that first step.
From this point, the nucleus of the work is a shared experience with those who generously participated in Communion. A sealed confessional that viewers contributed their confessions to. I am acutely aware of my responsibility to respect the generosity of their contribution while pursuing the material gathered in the development of the next chapter.
I am conscious of Picasso’s famous words, “Every act of creation begins with an act of destruction.” And so, this is where I begin.
