I first smudged the canvas with palo Santo. I painted with the ash. I cleansed before and after to purify our canvas.
Explores the concept of an “exorcism” through art. We often run from the shadow parts of ourselves. Carl Jung explored these concepts, and I believe that shadow integration can help us cultivate deeper self-compassion.
I became my worst nightmare through my art — I role-played as the abuser. I hit the canvas. I cut it with a knife. I tortured the fabric with my bare hands — dancing with each wisp of pain. It was incredibly cathartic.
Dancing with Your Demons is a personal example, yet collective exploration, of how we can each bring tenderness and light to our most shameful parts. It also draws upon Internal Family Systems (IFS) theory, and how we can tend to the different facets of our identity.
Sometimes that means accepting that we have done harmful things, as we are only human. I have lied, cheated, hurt others. I also own my mistakes. I evolve and grow from them. Let me help you grow from your mistakes, honey.
We must forgive ourselves, yet also continue evolving so that we can be more compassionate towards others.
*18% of the profits from this piece will go towards the development of a healing arts center for children. As an art therapist in training, it is my mission to bring the healing power of art to as many children as possible.
