Good Grief, 2019
Solo exhibition by Adri De La Cruz.
Grief is widely known as what is experienced after the loss of a loved one. Yet, grief can be experienced by any sort of loss one could go through. Such as losing something of value, relationships that never bloomed, dreams that were never sought after or words never put into action.
Over the past several year I have had many things to grieve. Though I was not dealing with them properly. I was told I needed to do something with my emotions, anything productive to get them out of me. Thus, begot Good Grief. The time it takes to find bones and clean them is the time I spend thinking and feeling. The carvings and burnings on the bones are the energy and love I give in homage and adoration to the grievances. Whereby, letting go and learning from them. This is Good Grief.
All bones are ethically sourced.
