MOOD BOARD I – The Return

a series of digital collage and cosmic collaboration
(August 2023)

I started this project in early August 2023, after returning home from the final leg of Tori Amos’ Ocean to Ocean tour – a journey that began over a year ago, and trying now to process the conclusion of that time. A re-immersion into the “normal” world, as a person forever changed by not only this journey, but as a person in recovery. The Crossing of the Return Threshold. Coming back to life. And this has been looking like a lot of things; raising vastly more questions than I have answers. What does personhood look like for me now? What does my artistry look like? What do creation, the notion of “art” even really look like at all? And so I draw upon my Lived experiences, my background and training as a storyteller, my own Muses, and decide to cultivate and curate a daily series of Thoughts – Art in the Living Moment – through images and text both borrowed and my own. This is a collaborative project, both passively and directly, artistically, cosmically, spiritually, energetically.
Change is afoot.
And so we must Go Forward Fully Without Fear, documenting and sharing the process, the wisdom, the knowing, the human experience.
For you all, some of my captured moments in time.
Happy to provide sources for any of the specific images or pieces of text, and endless gratitude to you all for building this story with me.
