Tension of Transition
While turning 30 last September, and feeling my inner child diluted by the demands of adulthood, I was inspired to start a multi-media collection titled “The Tension of Transition” (appropriately abbreviated as T.O.T.).
The idea was put into motion by a self-portrait piece my Grandmama preserved and showed me from my childhood.
Inspired by the color and imagination of “Little Lex” this event will illustrate how empty space is simply room to grow into your fullest self. As an artist and audience, through original songs, poetry, dance, sensory activities, and digital/ traditional artwork, we will explore the tension that accompanies transitioning from childhood to adulthood.
I hope my work will illuminate this truth: When trauma and self-discovery evacuated the most precious parts of who I was, the impetus to create propelled me into the truth of who I am today.
Join me at the Old Davie School Saturday, September 23rd, 2023 from 6:30 pm-9:00 pm for the whole experience!
