The Screaming Women Oil Paintings section features three oil paintings that explicitly express the pain, horror, suffering and loss I must have felt in the initial times around my injury.
The paintings were created during the Summer of 1991. The images came from my unconsciousness.
After paintings washes of various colors, I rotated the canvas and these women emerged out of the colors. I release all self-judgment and painted what I saw. Each woman came to more clarity as the painting progressed. Passionately possessed is how I felt. I cried deep sobs of despair, of loss.
I finally felt almost two years after the injury, the pain, loss and suffering I had experienced. The process was cathartic. I felt a bit freer. I continued.
A total of eight. To view the others, visit the Recovery Art Gallery.
These three paintings collected together formed the "Screaming women" section of the art exhibit Tree to Tree: Recovery Transformation.
Starting April 1993, the exhibit was featured at three Galleries, one Hospital, and five state Brain Injury Conferences in Colorado, North Carolina, Ohio, West Virginia and the show finished its' tour at the National Symposium held in Florida in October 1994.
