Pain Clouds
I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm in pain, every day.
Weirder yet, for many years, I thought that was normal.
My relationship with pain is chronic, intense and longstanding.
It is a challenge.
Sometimes I make things to try to express that complicated and gnawing feeling of pain that doesn't leave you.
The bitten lips, the oozing, the lack of control. The fake smiles mustered so others don't worry.
How it can feel like all eyes are on you, judging. "What's wrong with you? You don't look sick."
Pain clouds are sketched, water colored and most recently, I decided to sculpt them as well.
I'm working on free hanging, 360 sculpted ones, and also, magnets!
It's healing to know they get it.
