Post is the first painting/artwork I produced in 10+ years. It was also my first artwork after Elmar died. I couldn’t create any work during the deepest moments of grief and loss. I was not motivated nor did I have the concentration and energy to work or do much of anything. After two years, I felt a glimmer of light and clarity of post-trauma. The paint expresses the moment after a heavy summer storm when the dark clouds emptied and a hint of sunlight escapes from the parting clouds as if everything has been cleansed.
