' After Confession '
I went back to the assemblage for Submission. I was raised Catholic, and that shows up in so much of my art. I love all the icons and symbols. I call this piece "After Confession". Last Saturday I found an old little prayer book of mine and it called to me as "submission" – all that kneeling in church and receiving penance and being in trouble for the least little thing. I began with a deep red canvas and added a butterfly to represent the feeling of flight after confessing all the bad ass sins. Oh my God I'm heartily sorry for having offended thee.... The little tag on the rosary says, “Blessed by Supreme Chaplain”. How special.
