I'm writing a collection of personal pieces in tandem with painting a series of images on the theme of purgatory, with the intention of 'restoring beauty to all that is broken' or has been broken, in my life, a kind of memoir. The connection between my brokenness at the foot of the cross, art's purpose and the awakening of empathy is the glue I need to reunite the pieces. Thank you. I was much moved by this.
