Bryn, what a moving piece ... thank you. I did not know that sunflowers are symbolic of self-acceptance. Your piece, Layers, is extraordinary ... you have opened my eyes to a whole new perspective on autoimmune disorders. Just this week, the sister of a friend has received this diagnosis. I couldn't agree more about the impact of artwork on self-exploration. For me, the impact is related to personal growth ... my artwork, in collage, would never be displayed! However, the depths I went into its creation as well as its interpretation have been priceless for me. Thank you for this piece this morning!
Your piece, Layers is stunning and the other pieces from the exhibit strike a deep sorrowful chord. In my career in Physical Therapy, I frequently saw people with chronic disorders, whose symptoms were either invisible or muted while their suffering was real. To see the fear and frustration of those, whose physicians doubted their pain/fatigue/dizziness/brain fog was heartbreaking. And now we can add to the list, the mysterious POTS and the insidious long covid. May the day land gently on those who suffer so.
Hi from a fellow spoonie artist! I’ve had this saved in my RSS feed to read for ages now and finally got to it. Thanks for sharing about this project. I’m excited to check it out. ☺️
