With color.
My dreams have had constructions of art I've made.
Last night I know that my being was fitting parts of me together, showing me that I need all the facets of my being. The parts which I was trained to believe 1) I had control over and could and must repress, 2) were bad .... are part of my whole and without them I am not what I could be.
I drew this mandala to hold this in my thinking and give space for it to go deep and grow.
I used a stencil for the orange part. I tried to let my inner-ness direct the designs, and I really didn't think I would find significance in what I drew.
Upon letting it sit for a while, I do see significance. The orange part is ordered and regular, the persona, I think.
The green is a webbing of my name, my being, my identity. I added the color after drawing, and I did not plan the green to be on my name. That was a pleasant coincidence since green is my overall favorite color.
The blue is the tension I have.
The red is growth, and red has been my favorite color.
I like the piece, and I am happy to find meaning in it.
