This is a recent work created during a month long residency at The Residency at 821 in Asheville, NC. Well working there, I worked on a project and exhibit called Conjured Image. 
 
This work depicts a cosmic entity finding calm in a centered core, despite surrounding waves of maddening chaos. The title describes a sensitive part of the body changing and becoming characterized through a painful process, but enduring. This described resilience is a necessity of the living and is deified by this painted being.The process of creating this painting was very meditative. There was a soothing repetition in lightly dragging brushes to create looping swirls of color that would stack layer by layer.
