DESCRIPTION:
|
Attorney-turned-artist Ai-lin Chang will share the story of how she transformed a devastating stress-related collapse into a powerfully positive lesson in life. The creative process became a way for Ai-lin to work through thoughts and emotions, and gave the artist access to her deeper self. As Chang learned to listen to her inner voice, her art became a healing force.
Ai-lin's art, which can be viewed at www.ailinart.com on the web, has been shown in galleries and venues in California. Her artist talks have enhanced the public's understanding of the dramatic toll stress can take in one's life and the possibility of deep healing inherent in the artistic process.
Chang's assemblages use a play of mixed media -- fiber, wood, metal, stone and glass, and found objects -- layered and juxtaposed to explore the textural landscapes and dreamscapes of life. Each work is accompanied by a short poem written by the artist and reflective of the art. ###
