Jellyfish
In January 2017, a Continuum teacher colleague of mine commissioned a jellyfish cloth for her office. This request coincided with two surgeries I needed to repair my hiatal hernia and esophageal sphincter, which involved cutting my diaphragm. While this piece was in process on the table in my studio, I lay in the hospital unable to swallow. I relearned how to swallow after the surgery and had some very powerful insights about my organs, especially my diaphragm. These cloths evoke the movement of breath and the continuous awareness the experience of breathing invites. Each one is a tribute to the living dynamic process of our bodies.
