Fighting through

Movement is one coping mechanism to redirect my pain and give my brain a respite from the pain cycle. I knew I wanted to do something messy, just as messy as the pain I was dealing with. I needed to move, people in pain need to move. Motion is vital. I purchased a pair of boxing gloves. Dipped them in paint and started punching the canvas, the boxing gloves were now my paint brushes and a new way of physically showing the emotion of frustration in an intuitive painting form.  

This “fight” with the pain is constantly represented in the silent battle with the repetitive punches, that differ visually from day to day.
