“Falling ‘Deep Below Heaven’” is a series of three, life-size watercolor portraits that together explore the delicious abandon, the uncertainty, the sorrow and the peace experienced through the act of letting go of a tenacious yet ultimately ineffectual grasp on a sense of control. The figures fall from the paper even as they remain attached, finally landing and becoming grounded. This commune with the inevitable and uncontrollable is a process that is completely human; it is mysterious and frightening, but it is necessary and even, maybe, good.
