Transformation

Noun. Meaning the Change in form, nature, appearance or character.

It can and invariably has been used to describe everything from the elemental facets in the amazing World of Mother Earth and Father Sky, to the intricate workings in each of the private inner workings of our Minds, both collectively and on a more personal level.

What better way to describe the changing, ever-evolving, transformation evident in the pieces of local artist Adrianne L. Jezin? In my opinion, both as an observer of her work and as a close friend, nothing comes close to communicating the magnitude of her art.

Within the past year, a great many things have come and gone, started and stopped, gotten better or worse. Or all of the above. And never is that delicate dichotomy lost or hidden in Ms. Jezin’s paintings and creations. As Beings confined to the limited dimensions of which we know and are aware, she immerses the viewer in the depth of her own experiences, leading you through the Dark, rising upward toward the Light. Towards Life. And never denying that without the negative of the one, the positive of the other would not exist as it does. As it always will be.

As Humans, flawed and fractured as we are, confused and trying to find our way in such a mixed up place of our own creation, her most recent works speak to us on a deeper level (Please see artwork posted 2/3/13). It speaks to me, anyway.

And it says: Don’t give up. Don’t sell out. Don’t give in. True, it’s been bad. Truer still, it can be far worse. But right now, we have been given the opportunity to develop and to investigate and to better ourselves. To Rise, always reaching up toward the Divine Guidance that has not left us behind.

In the artwork of Adrianne L. Jezin, take a look. A good, long look. And find the Hope you thought you’d lost.
