I have always found that art heals.. and from the vast variety of works now being created by many of my friends on social media.. I see that I am not alone in my isolation.. we are all going through the very same thing together.. Caterina Giglio, 8 x 10 mixed media on cradled board, titled, Alone, Together. We are united in mind and heart and though we cannot console through hugs kiss touch or gathering we can share visually how we all feel.. I don't consider this group from my Ripped and Torn series finished.. I think my fingers and my heart have much more to say.. and though they are dark.. I see hope rising.. and the promise of new beginnings which are always a bit scary.. but necessary for change to occur.. like the scab on the wound that is hardening and snags, it is important to let it heal and fall off on it's own accord. Caterina Giglio, 5 x 5 cradled board, untitled, mixed media So... I am working with newsprint zines, that we find when we travel.. It seemed the perfect thing to use since we cannot travel.. they do such marvelous things... when ripped and torn, they respond well to adhesives and create just the perfect ragged texture to illustrate my feelings... Caterina Giglio, 6 x 6 mixed media on cradled board, untitled Yes, there is hope yes, I hear the birds singing... Caterina Giglio, 6 x 6 mixed media on cradled board, untitled and my garden gives me pleasure and pulls me back to the reality of enchantment... and the peacefulness of this NOW moment. xox
