through openness, love, death, rebirth and the hope to love again while taking life as it comes
This collection is like a useful, technicolor pain scale paired with writing and music.
I made it over ten years, including a five year artistic winter.
Pieces #1-27 & #36 & #38 were made in 2007-2008.
Pieces #28-#30 were created in the fall and early winter of 2010.
Pieces #31-#35 & #37 & #39-#40 came through in 2015-2017 for a bonus exhibit in Sedona.
The sacred energy and inspiration that works with me to create it only let me in on its agenda some of the time. I kept making it because it was loud in me and the loud in me got quieter once I let it out.
In Latin, the word ‘Aorta’ means “I lift; raise”.
And ‘Transformata’ is Latin for “Transformo” which means to change in shape.
So literally, Aorta Transformata exists to inspire a lift and change that begins in the heart.
But it doesn’t stop in the heart.
Your actual aorta brings heart energy to all the major body systems through the core of your body to serve all of your body.
It supplies the body with blood that can breathe.
And when you understand that all of what the heart endures is important and can be useful…and you get very interested in how it feels and what it may be showing you…
what pumps out your heart and through your being, won’t stop with you either.
