"On the edge of a busy place there sits a nook. Enter and let me tell you a story…”
Like tales painted in a dark cave long ago, a story of life, the afterlife, reality, and internal and external experiences unfolds along these walls and invites the viewers to sit amongst it and open their minds…because an open mind is a channel that is not receiving some previously recorded broadcast. Instead, it is free to receive any kind of sound…from short waves, stellar disturbances, or songs of outer… and inner space.
Conceptualized first from the visual of a soundwave (its shape emulating crests that peak high into the heavens of what exists, and troughs that plunge deep into the internal world, the reality underneath), Journey is a three-part story or song that wraps around the room, completely engulfing anyone who enters. Exploring themes like growth, acceptance, grief, loss, and the lifelong journey of self-discovery, this mural invites the viewer to experience the artist’s interpretation of birth, life, and death, told with beings from worlds that exist on the frequency of her imagination. As these concepts melt into each other, dripping and flowing as another piece of the story, the spirit world unfolds simultaneously; tearing through at times and telling of internal struggle and past lives. While on the _Journey, _thoughts, feelings, and pieces of the soul have decidedly all been freed to float amongst the stars as constellations and gods that watch over the viewer as the story begins over and over again.
