Casings
Casings are self-excreted or self-constructed protection many insects create for metamorphosis to occur.
They are protective covering more primitive, more elemental than a cocoon.
My Casings are sculptural vessels metaphorically protecting a spiritual, emotional condition of vulnerability.
All of us are emotionally vulnerable when we go through profound life changes, whether desired or thrust upon us.
Self-created protection is essential while the inner life is dramatically changing.
Casings are strong; they stand up to weather.
They are naturally at home in gardens, under leaves, clinging to branches; but they hang by themselves.
When a casing is no longer needed, it is opened from within.
