From Sala Diaz:
“Rattling examines the roles of ritual, creativity, and play in the healing process. Like the segments of a serpent’s rattle, this body of work serves as a record of growth and evidence of transformation. It makes the inner work of healing visible.
A Rattling Invitation-
Beyond the threshold of this tiny house,
this witch’s cottage,
another world awaits.
Come in.
My spells hang in the air,
my shape shifts,
I move from material to immaterial, and back again.
Come in.
I travel on the serpent’s back, the healing path.
She showed me how to rattle.
Let me show you.
Come in.
Each sculpture in the exhibition is paired with a small arrangement of ritual remnants representing a particular phase in the healing journey: soul retrieval (inner child work) and cord cutting (boundary-setting). Creating rituals around these difficult processes and giving them form as mythical creatures helped the artist to face the grief, rage, and fear that accompany them.”
