Magnetic/ Radiating a collaborative installation with Danielle DeRoberts at Boulder Creative Collective

What do to attract? What to you emit? How do you balance the two?

Magnetic/ Radiating is the exploration about the balance between attracting and emitting.

Magnetic: In healing we turn our energy inward. Saving our precious resources to transform. Attracting what we need to help in the process.

Radiating: verb (used without object), ra·di·at·ed, ra·di·at·ing.

to extend, spread, or move like rays or radii from a center.

to emit rays, as of light or heat; irradiate.

Stored in the soft folds. Tucked in the deep tissue of our bones. Woven into our neurons. We carry our pain from trauma, from recent events, our childhoods and previous lives. Stored like a secret in our bodies. Through introspection, internal processing and arduous work the pain is liberated. The pain is unwound. Detached from our physical body. Energy is released. Cultivated it can be converted to beauty. Radiating into the world.
