This is a weaving from a 9 piece collection called, "Shadowwork," last shown at Marlborough Contemporary Gallery in NYC, the Gallery of Arts and Crafts in Boston, The State Historical Museum in Moscow Russia, and Y Gallery NYC. In my 9 part series called, each sculpture is a representation of the ritualistic story about creating our own mental torment.
The project is divided into 9 parts, First the candles are lit in piece 1, then piece 2 is when the cleansing of the sage happens. After this comes the the ringing of the singing bowl to show the ceremony has begun.
The next piece will show the body opening ready for all the thoughts to come out, then the then the crematorium which shows you burning in your own thoughts, This next piece is called "The Cocoon, " and its where your are solidified in your own mental torment.
The last 3 pieces are based on the rainbow body phenomenon. Where at the time of death if you become enlightened your body shoots out into rainbow light. Each piece is shown with rainbow threads getting blacker showing that everything is pure is being taken away. This tapestry is a representation of piece 8, The Disappearing of the Rainbow Body 2. The mouth is shown throwing up the rainbow threads and it gets blacker from the bottom. The project was made as a reminder to stop this cycle. Concentrate on every thought and let them arise and fall.
