New commission

.

While I’m working on the wellness suites piece, I have been navigating details of another commission.

I have been contacted by a local therapist who inquired about a woven art for her office. She wanted it to reflect “tension or inner conflict,” which many of her clients struggle with. Other themes she wanted me to play with through texture and color, which compliments her office palette included “uncertainty, journeying/navigating defensiveness, vulnerability, risk, bravery, reassurance, sanctuary, and self-deprication.”

Human experience and landscape of deep and complex emotion heavily influence my process. It is a privilege to create for another healing space and hold in mind themes that I too see in my clients. Blending my work as a psychologist and an artist is an absolute treat!

Here are a few photos of the design process. It was collaborative and involved lots of communication, ultimately resulting in a rendering my client was very happy with.
