“Listen” proclaims the title of this artists book on slate gray paper. The inside covers in a dazzling, hard blue contains between them joined pages of handmade paper. Spread to its extend as an according book, one can trace the cotton thread, brown, pink, gray, yellow, pale green, and green. The steadiness of the thread begins low, slowly rising, looping, tangling, tearing. Chaos. “Breath” a word of instated calm repeats itself, “Breath, just breath”.

This work stems from experience of stress under increasing pressure. The feeling of managing but not living leading to disaster and the slow recovery. While for the artist, it comes from a specific time in her life, it is intended as a canvas for others to see the world of struggles: anxiety, stress, manic behavior, and more. To relate and project onto as they need.
