40 DAYS HAS SEPTEMBER
September was an extremely challenging month, filled with struggle, heartache, doubt, disorientation and disappointment. The following collection of 40 small-scale pieces was made to provide me comfort and understanding of all that was happening around me, to me, because of me and for me.
The production was very intensive - working one after another, piling them up, moving onto the next, revisiting various ones to embellish, trying to understand what they all mean, all the while completely submersing myself into what they are - my my search to make it through this trial, one breath at a time. These journal entries illustrate the transition from confusion to seeking, to acceptance and healing, the number 40 symbolizing change.
Through my own hardships, I referenced the struggle of my predecessors...
The physicians spent 40 days embalming Father Israel as Jacob mourned. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights while Noah waited patiently on the arc for a renewed earth. Jesus fasted for 40 days, placing his body under subjection to allow the ascension of his Spirit.
40 degrees is also a semi-perfect number and is the meeting point of Celsius and Fahrenheit at -40 degrees.
