Art text: quiet crackling of soften seeds – splitting husks sprouting answers – soaked to bursting in living water
.
Statement:
Soaked to Bursting began as a “scrap painting,” with the outlines of seeds left and dirt on the page when I painted the brown edges of the seeds found in Underneath. The prayer text came as I added the ground and it needed water. Finally, I mounted the center painting on larger paper so I could highlight the flows of living water all around it. I love this painting– full of such a deep, longing prayer of faith for the answers to emerge.
