BLACK POOLS

Stemming from an encounter with volcanic waters inside an Icelandic cave, a series of later meditations gave rise to the image of the black pool in my subconscious. Visions of shimmering dark pools began to appear in my dreams with increasing frequency as I prepared to give birth in 2021. The black pools were apparitions of a life force both cosmic and primal; painting them became a reservoir for my subconscious.
