Myth & Magick: Birth of an Idea
Completed January 2011.
11"x15"; pen&ink on watercolor paper.
This is what that moment looks like when an idea congeals into an image in my head. The idea may come from anywhere, but it's channeled through my throat and third-eye chakras (having to do with communication and intuition, respectively), swirling out of me and coalescing into a vortex of... there - there it is. My breath catches - my eyes widen. I feel uplifted, hopeful, excited, energized.
It looks like this.
This is a true self-portrait, meant not only to represent my energetic self but actually to resemble my features, something I've tried many times but never succeeded at before. (For more on why that was, see the blog post.) According to my husband, the resemblance is "spooky", so I'm guessing I did okay! I wear glasses, normally, but other than that this is me. (Compare to the actual photograph on my 'About' page.)
