The Liminal Space (Between Death and Birth), 60cm x 90cm
Free worldwide shipping.
Acrylic on stretched canvas. 60cm tall by 90cm wide by 3cm deep, framed in off-white wooden frame
In 2024 I began to paint only on sustainable material. I found this framed canvas, a discarded mass produced artwork, at a yard sale. I painted over it a surrealist expression about letting go. The canvas itself is a symbol for embracing the future by practicing detachment..
Though open to interpretation, for me this painting grew out of a mourning for a very specific version of my past self, specifically the one who successfully integrated my darker sides, my shadow. She no longer served me, but I loved her dearly, and she longed to stay alive. Letting go of her took years, and painting this piece was a large step in finally being able to surrender to the present. The birds and tokens on the shore illustrate the convincing illusion and vitality of the past as present. The milky, ethereal water and round pebbles convey the inevitably of change. The ferns suggest new life.
Life exists between birth and death, but between death and birth there exists only space. Madhya is a Sanskrit word that references the pause or the space between. It even references the pause between breaths; inhale is birth, exhale is life, the liminal space between the two is death.
This painting is dedicated to everyone grieving past versions of themselves.
