In such moments, the colors of our own world shift radically. Our focus changes in ways we didn\u2019t predict. The Veil we normally see as solid suddenly dissolves and we see through the surface of what we know into a deeper Divine truth. They leave us, if only for a moment, on the cusp of Knowing, wishing we could somehow freeze the world just long enough to step through and explore.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve thought a lot about the Veil and what lies beyond. I catch glimpses of those spaces in the skin of trees, of houses, of hills, of sky. They call my attention, demanding I let go for just a moment of whatever I might believe to be true and allow myself to see the Divinity before me. This, I think, must be the doorway into another Realm.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Size<\/strong>: 17.25 inches x 14.5 inches (44 cm x 36 cm)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Materials<\/strong>: Hand-dyed cotton, cotton-polyester thread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Completed<\/strong>: 2022<\/li>\n<li><strong>Series<\/strong>: NA<\/li>\n<li><strong>Current location<\/strong>: Private Collection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2789\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2789\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2789\" src=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-1.jpg\" alt=\"Faerie Lands Await, by Candace Hunter\" width=\"700\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-1.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-1-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-1-1024x854.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-1-768x641.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2789\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Faerie Lands Await<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>My Thoughts on the Work<\/h2>\n<p>Through a series of conversations with Sheryl LeBlanc I began to explore how one might communicate the experience of encountering the Veil. The nature of that space where we can perceive those boundaries is ephemeral and hard to grasp. Those who\u2019ve encountered it often find putting what they\u2019ve learned into words or even images. It\u2019s a unique experience for each of us, and it\u2019s one that carries us beyond the normal ways we make sense of our world.<\/p>\n<p>This piece was my first attempt at translating my own experiences into a symbolic language. I love the contrast of the chenille sky and grass plaines with the tree, rock, and hills. I love the colors of the porch and house peeking through the tree trunk. Both of those elements hint at the way seeing beyond or into the Veil skews your perception of the world.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t necessarily my favorite or best piece ever. The composition is probably quite lacking from a classical artistic perspective. Even so, it captures at least a hint of the space I wanted to share. For a first attempt, it ain\u2019t bad.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2791 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Faerie Lands Await, detail 2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-3.jpg 1440w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/225;\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2790 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Faerie Lands Await, detail 3\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Faerie-Lands-Await-2.jpg 1440w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/225;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faerie Lands Await is a snapshot taken in the space between moments when we catch a glimpse of a world beyond our own, one that shakes up what we know to be true.
