Released to the wild.
All the hours spend with PhotoShop...........actually, I enjoyed doing these pieces. I have more confidence with the software, and I see how much I have learned over the past three years at NBCCD, photographically and creatively.
Opening for the show is June 15, 3 PM at the UNB Art Centre.
Lilith,
Jewish: Created by God, in the
same manner and at the same time, to be Adam’s wife. Demonized for refusing
Adam’s domination. When Adam insisted on her subjugation she spoke the
Ineffable Name of God and flew off into the air. Some believe she was the snake
who convinced Eve to eat the fruit of The Tree of Knowledge.
Kali,
Hindu: First manifested when the
demon Daruka threatened the gods, she sprang from the furiously knitted brow of
Parvati, dispatching the demon and making the heavens safe again. As a symbol
of the worst we can imagine she offers the chance to face our own terrors. She
assumes the form that reflects the attitude of the person who approaches her.
Her nakedness shows that she lacks the covering of illusions, her white teeth
represent purity, her protruding tongue shows she consumes all, the girdle of hands
represent Karma. Once faced and understood, Kali frees her worshipers of all
fear and becomes the greatest of Mothers, the most comforting of all goddesses.
