a piece to focus on while grounding. breathe. count the yarn, feel the texture, what colors do you see?, where is the concrete?, how many tones of purple can you spot on the poplar?
learning new grounding tools and techniques has been a saving grace for me while dealing with anxiety attacks. it’s a skill that requires repetition, so your body/mind can even remember to use the grounding techniques you’ve learned, all while in a heightened state.
i use my own paintings as grounding points, analyzing each stoke. finding new paths and emotion within the works. counting. touching. using my senses to bring me back down to earth. my favorite compliment was hearing that a collector uses my art to meditate, and since then i have been focusing on fueling my fiber works with a handful of different grounding points to offer a therapeutic experience within the artistic structure.
When we exhibit art at the Grand Bohemian Hotel Gallery it becomes exclusive to the gallerists to sell. If you fall in love with a piece, but do not live in Charleston you call the gallerists and pay over the phone. They will assist you in setting up shipping. Please reach out if you have any questions, I can pass along the information and inquiry to the gallery director Kate personally.
