Experience the felt

This exhibition is of Bessies most recent work, which is mostly of animals and landscapes. These mostly come from personifying felt emotions and inner experience. Life shows us many events, which quite naturally trigger intense emotions, loss, greif, anger, fear and many others. We have a choice to listen, digest,  evolve,  grow and find strength through them.
 
The practise Bessie used to that gave her the powerful images was called feeding your demons. A process of listening, embodying and personifying ones emotions/inner demons. Then having dialogue, feeding them what they need with and watching them mutate into Allies who support you.  The process was very powerful and brought great images and insight and personal healing.
