BODY ARCANA

‘Body Arcana’ is a series of large-scale drawings created through movement with my body and oil bars on paper.

Inspired by the belief that ‘the body holds our entire life experience,’ each drawing begins with the question “if my body could speak, what would it say?” This question acts as a springboard for the discovery of current life lessons and resources that the body holds through movement. Each discovery is then symbolically recorded on paper.

As we heal ourselves, we heal our lineage, our community and our world. This work aims to create the space for meditation, self inquiry and discussion about the wisdom that the body holds.
