“Without the weight given by a wound consciously realized, [one] will lead a provisional life.”
— Robert Bly
In January and Febuary 2021, I curated an art exhibition at Flux Factory called the Gift in the Wound. The show highlighted highlighted the work of artists who have confronted their fears, traumas, and shadows, and emerged on the other side with unexpected insights, treasures, and talents to share with and enrich their communities. The wounds explored varied from the physical to the emotional to the spiritual, and the media from paint, fabric, glass, and beyond. Each work celebrated an enduring process of transformation reflected in nature, in myth, and in our bodies.
