Easing the Pain  "Anesthetics like novocaine or cocaine either block the body's ability to send high-frequency pain signals to the brain or will not allow sodium to flow into the nerve cell. Some drugs manage to confuse the signals given at different stages of the pain message. Naturally occurring opiates called endorphins occupy the receptor sites so that they can't receive the neural transmitter's message of pain. Cocaine interferes with the neural transmitters in just this way."   - Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses      This reading sprung and idea in my mind about coping mechanisms. There are many people who use drugs to numb their pain, and it doesn't ever solve their problems. Pain has internal and psychological connotations as well as physical manifestations and reactions.

Grace Artist Statement Grace  is a heavily symbolic tryptic intended to outwardly contemplate a singular human existence from the perspective of the artist. The photographs depicted represent the intuitive, the mundane, and the inconspicuous detail aching to be ignored and screaming to be noticed that sleep in the conscious mind. The symbolism represents peace, incongruity, stoicism in peril, among a multitude of other transcendental concepts. One wing is fashioned to the model's back, representing the desire to behave in a morally perfect way, yet the large, jagged shoulder padding on the other side presents a painful misapprehension that this morality isn't possible in such a perturbedly mortal vessel. The crucifix is a symbol of perseverance through suffering; it is a monument to the toils of life in all things, but the primary representation originates in the childhood of the model: financial, educational, social, political, personal pain and struggle, ...
