Chromatic Tissues

Chromatic Tissues, 2021, gouache, washi paper, textile glue. Each work is part of the series intended to remain together as a singular artwork. Each Chromatic Tissue is named after the invisible, ineffable qualities of life, in particular human life that can endure and transform suffering through the witness of beauty. The series reflects an embodied reality and the enduring effects after an experience based on hearing, feeling, and seeing. Synesthesia is believed to be present in 2-4% of the world population, though believed to be much higher since the level of perception relies upon the awareness of the subconscious and somatic realms. Further meaning could be a warning about the human spirit and caution to those who deny your experience of reality. In a world made of myths, each body is a needle and thread. Speaking the truth has often been and remains dangerous, alas heart-centered people carry this difficult choice. Contact to collect or exhibit the work: mariammanart@icloud.com
