Impromptu Sunday Morning, Sunday morning water color: The Undoing

“Undone” has multiple meanings. To become undone may translate to: becoming untied or unfastened to “something” - “anything” that holds you back…prevents you from achievement of the highest self. Undone/undoing may translate to: something not finished or a refashioning of a finished work.

There is no time like the present to become undone.

In May, I’m celebrating and showcasing my collage art. This piece was created during the onset of the pandemic and amid heated discussions about migrant children at “the border.”

Art has the power to incite controversy. It can be shocking, unsettling, and disquieting. Art narrates uncomfortable truths.

How does this collage make you feel? What do you see? What stories are being narrated? Drop a comment and share your thoughts.
