Original Lifeline
If Mother is the beginning of the works-on-paper series, then this is conclusion.
If Mother is how it started, the Original Lifeline is how it’s going.
If Mother is one extreme, Original Lifeline is the other.
If Mother is the mother wound, Original Lifeline is gently re-mothering/reparenting my self.

Water is rife with tension; it is the source of creation and destruction. The literary canon is filled with characters who tangle with the power of water and its gods: from Odysseus and Prospero, to the films of James Cameron and Hayao Miyazaki.
This series — The Third Eye of the Storm — began as a meditation on my fear of drowning; I began working while watching a gender-bent adaptation of The Tempest starring Helen Mirren as Prospera. The primary relationship of the play suddenly mother-daughter, I was thrust into an unexpected tempest of my own, processing my evolving relationship as my mother’s caregiver after years of navigating this stormy relationship.
Water is the source of life; so, too, our mothers. The ocean’s dance with the moon is one that has been worshiped and celebrated through ritual and art for millennia. That tension – the pull between the ocean and the moon, between life and death, creation and destruction, mothers and their children, vengeance and love–is the source of this body of work.
Original Lifeline is a lyric from the song Third Eye by Florence + the Machine.
