The exquisite miracle that is a caterpillar transforming into a beautiful butterfly demonstrates how patience and struggle in growth and experience transforms us into the beautiful being we are intended to be.

On these crowns are four replicas of etchings and aquatints from Francisco Goya’s 1864 suite of works called The Disparates; He made these toward the end of his life after having felt the effects of the Spanish Civil War and worked at the royal court, where he saw the underbelly of greed, power, and wealth, and had an illness that left him deaf. He was down on the folly of humanity that seemed to lack rhyme or reason. These figures are contemplating how we connect to the divine through our sorrows, folly, and hardships. Our human fallibly and the dreariness of this life are tools we can employ to seek enlightenment.

In devotion to art, she sits with the poise of one who surrenders to eruptions of creativity. She puts trust in her inner knowing while the torrent of ideas rages under the surface. She honors the process of transformation while seeking the fullness of creative expression.

All the things that get between you and enlightenment.

Worth: If you are good, then God will love you. If you are nice, they will accept you. If you are pretty, they will admire you.

Vanity: What are you willing to sacrifice, a toe a heel, to fit into the shoe? Compare yourself to other’s false display of perfection.

Judgement: You are being watched and measured and you will never be good enough. 5.Fear: Carry a heavy burden of self-doubt and irrational fears disguised as humility.

Pride: Self protection and the ego swinging a tiny stick that actually only hurts you.

Authority: Those who speak for God and tell you what is truth, trust them before you trust yourself.

Memento mori and lunar cycles, your one wild and precious life.

Patterned after a Mocking of Christ composition, set in the Eastern State Penitentiary.

I used to be overwhelmed, I used to be so busy I couldn’t think, I used to keep questions buried. I used to watch ideas float away when I couldn’t bring them down to the earth, I used to feel like I was sitting on my hands, I used to think I was a little bit crazy. I used to feel like the fire in my belly was eating me from the inside, I used to stay quiet about it, I used to do what I was told. Now I seek balance, now I let my passion fly, now I stoke the fire.

A spark of passion, that which we come with

Balance as a verb, that which we are given

How we use these, that which we become
