CIRCUS DE VIDA
"My first mastectomy, in 1991, presaged a half decade of obsessive creation, my way of coping with instead of acknowledging a lopsided scar-slashed chest. I refused to look for five years. Rather, I busied myself with earning two more degrees beyond my M.A., teaching full-time, and creating over eight hours a day. Eventually, my creativity became a means for healing rather than evasion. This is a self-portrait, replete with personal symbols of the clown's emotional upheaval and anger with her life. She is the crucified clown trying to walk the tightrope and she is the clown who tries to balance her life spheres as she makes an obscene gesture. Inner healing cannot begin until the first step is taken: expressing one's anger and rage." |
