Susan Spiritus Visually spectacular!
The daily bombardment of stories about conflict and anger towards “otherness” fills me with grief and anguish. The cacophony of misinformation seems chaotic; everything is on the verge of collapse. I move myself away from this distress by creating images of refracted light. I deconstruct the color spectrum juxtaposing shapes and colors to create a collection of visual meditations that offer me a sense of calm and allows my equanimity to return.
