What will soothe you? is a solo exhibition of mixed media works filled with sweet dreams and memories. The exhibition started with a performance ritual using pressed marigolds and a handmade oil containing lavender and coffee grounds. Based on a memory of when my legs were riddled with bug bites during the summer, my mother would rub lavender into them to help soothe the pain. This ritual and exhibition serve as a reminder to treat yourself in adulthood with the same wholesomeness and care as a mother to her child. Often struggling to care for myself in adulthood, I return to my art practice as a meditative act of healing and self-care. Hands and lavender are repeating iconography throughout the work because of their healing and soothing properties. The exhibition is a reminder to treat yourself kindly and create rituals that will soothe you.
