'Becoming' Framed Original
Digital Collage on Hahnemühle Torchon Fine Art Paper with 21 Karat Gold Leaf
Art size: 30 × 30cm (excluding frame)
Digital collage created with photographs of ordinary urban objects (like lampposts and rubbish bins) then hand embellished
About the art: As more previously unseen aspects of myself were acknowledged and integrated, I felt a sense of wholeness returning as layer upon layer of defences and masks and walls were seen, and dissolved. Having felt like there was a deep void inside of me for decades, and having attempted to fill or numb myself from that void with everything I could think of – from people to things to achievements to places to substances – I finally had moments of feeling complete. Whole. Enough. Worthy. This piece illustrates more steady periods of new awareness, with the white lettering of a skip bin allowing me to see truths long ago forgotten, whilst being able to acknowledge and integrate those parts of myself previously shunned.
“There is no light without shadow and no wholeness without imperfection.”
– Carl Jung
