Red Rocks Works

The rock formations in Colorado spoke to me earlier last summer. 65 million years old – you can feel that presence. I’ve been playing around with materials to see what resonates. And experimenting with ways to layer interpretations of ocular auras along with them.

Ocular auras are an unexplained phenomenon associated with migraines. They present differently for each individual, but for me they appear as wavering crescent rainbows in my peripheral vision. They last for 10-15 minutes. Like catching a meteor shower, I literally have to stop whatever I am doing – teaching, eating brunch with my kids, hiking – and quietly witness the aural rainbows until they pass. Take a moment to meditate upon these pieces – be present.
