The Energy Series is photographed and discovered within the Ribbon Series. 

Focused practice of qi-gong exercises and meditation, combined with cranio-sacral therapy,

 has led to the release of stored energy from long past traumatic events.  These releases

are experienced as colors that rise up into my body and consciousness, then shift in hue and

intensity as the emotions shift and intensify.  These releases are often quite dramatic, with each

occurrence having its own rhythm of rising tensions, openings, releases, and finally a resting place

of gentleness and space, or, if the release is not complete, a place of contained anger and anxiety. 

Each series depicts the colors and energies that rose and fell during the release of a particular

experience, as each experience has its own attendant rising and falling colors, while the moment

of opening to the experience and letting go remains constant.
