"."Slowly
Healing" is the second sculpture created in the
artist's series,
"The Healing Process
This sculpture series, of brightly-painted cardboard,
illustrates the bonding of the patient and caretaker dealing with a debilitating
illness and coping after a loved one has died. Each sculpture consists of a
stem, center, and spirals.
The stems are long twisted pieces of cardboard bound tightly together to show
the closeness of the patient and caretaker. Each sculpture's center represents a
different stage of the caretaker's "healing process." The spirals portray
both the
deceased and the living, through two color schemes ending with yellow at the
tips to
symbolize freedom. The patient's color palette is red to orange to yellow while
the caretaker's moves from blue to green to yellow.
