sacred women of sorrow
I began this last year and walked away from it. I recently was prompted to add it to the thin places series (which continues to grow in spite of my thinking that I was done, this proves to be untrue) by adding the grid and portals. The idea of visually depicting the "other"(spiritual) realm continues to fascinate me. Our real tangible world is always intersecting with the spiritual and here again the portals are punching through while these two women support each other in the act of sacred prayer (swirling around them).

oh i LOVE the light shining through!
i for one am so glad that you're not done with your 'thin spaces' - they move me more than i can put into words blair. i would LOVE to stand in a gallery surrounded by them all, soaking them in and letting them speak to me.
each one tells another story of my own life - the dancing couple, the soaring woman, bowed in grief, celebrating life, holding a child - each is truly the heartbeat of a woman. they are thin spaces indeed.
thank you for sharing them with us!
