It just takes time. It just takes a really, really, long time. To come back. To come home. To return to yourself. I'll take all the time in the world, because it's worth it.
Today I felt soft like a bunny and fragile, too. Like I was floating, like my limbs are filled with oxygen and the world is water. I walked barefoot in the backyard for a while, on the stones that line the yard.
Did I make this place up? Am I dreaming? I have been saved.

Artist's Statement
"The role of the indigenous shaman was to mediate between the visible and the invisible worlds. Originally this was the role of the artist: to endow that barely perceptible liminal realm with a physical form, producing symbols of evolutionary import. I believe in the power of images to create change. Though the imagery in my work is incredibly intimate, it echoes an experience that is universally female. I create for both personal and transpersonal revolution."
- Lucy Madeline
Lucy Madeline is a multidisciplinary artist working in video and sculptural installation, performance, photography, and painting. Her work is characterized by a fundamental search for identity through relationship to the physical and metaphysical body. Through her re-appropriation of the female form, and thus the female experience, she redefines her understanding of self, sexuality, personal history and transformation. By utilizing the dynamic between images, words and sounds, she articulates through visual metaphor those things which cannot be spoken with words alone. She is informed by archaic imagery and tradition, exploiting the passage of time and repetition of ritualistic actions to communicate themes of loss, separation, and the sacralization of the mundane.
She currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
