You Again | 9” x 12” | oil on paper | 2025
For most of my life, I have remembered the darkness.
As a kid, I had dreams of other lives. As an adult, I learned how to regress back to those lives and feel their experience in order to heal ailments in this life.
Or perhaps, in another framework, strong images with full backstories appear in my mind to inform my current experience.
Whether or not I’m remembering past lives or creating a personal metaphor is irrelevant. These images, while dark, have led to profound healing.
This piece, “You Again” is not easy to experience. It is based on a vision I had of a mother back in 800BC, who continued to care for her deceased child as if it was still alive.
I am not a parent. But in accessing these “memories,” I experience the scene in real time, and the emotional impact is far beyond what I can explain in words. I felt more grief in “reliving” this than I ever have in this life, in which there’s been plenty of loss.
To paint this image was the ultimate form of honor and relief, for this woman I never knew and yet, know intimately.
