Liminal Spaces in Art
There is something profoundly compelling about the in-between. Liminal spaces — thresholds, passages, transitions — are neither here nor there, yet they hold immense weight. They are places of transformation, of ambiguity, of becoming.
In my own artistic practice, liminality is ever-present. Living with chronic illness, I often find myself suspended between worlds: between wellness and pain, visibility and invisibility, silence and expression. These thresholds are not easily named, but art gives them form.
What Liminality Means in My Work
When I create, I draw from these unseen states. My series Giving Shape to Pain translates altered sensations into sculptural forms, while Under My Skin explores fluidity, movement, and the shifting landscapes of the body. These works do not seek to resolve or explain but to hold the viewer inside the passage itself — that tender, unsettling, yet generative space of transition.
The materials themselves echo this tension. Fluid pigments slip between control and chaos. Needles and beads both wound and shimmer. Light and shadow transform a sculpture from one moment to the next. Nothing is fixed; everything is in flux.
Why Liminality Matters
To encounter liminal art is to be asked to pause, to accept uncertainty, and to dwell within it. This can be uncomfortable, but also liberating. It reflects the way life truly unfolds — not in neat beginnings or endings, but in the layered, shifting thresholds between them.
For me, creating art is a way of staying present inside these spaces, of witnessing the pain, fragility, and beauty they hold. For the viewer, I hope the works become invitations to linger, to reflect, and to discover resonance with their own in-between moments.
The Threshold as a Place of Connection
The liminal is not an empty void but a place of potential. It is where transformation takes root. By shaping these thresholds into visible, tangible forms, I hope to build bridges — from solitude into community, from silence into dialogue, from the invisible into the seen.
Art, like life, is never static. It thrives in the space between.
If this theme resonates with you, I invite you to browse my collections and explore my creations — each work is an invitation to step into these thresholds and experience them firsthand.
