Offered here, 5 paintings in a series of 22 (in progress) from a collection entitled Holding Space. This series explores, visually, the nature of mind when engaged in prayer and meditation. Each image reflects a connection with a different meditation practice, or prayer for a person, place or event. They offer visual displays of silent dialogue between self and other expressing subtleties and intensities of experience when in contemplative relationship with another, through meditation, or as it arises through prayer. The series speaks to the efficacy of prayer, its capacity for "holding space" (holding the mind still), for stabilizing one's self and one's world.
