Deeply Found
“The more deeply you are lost, the more deeply you will be found”
Erika Masterson
Here is my YouTube video filmed in the North Carolina Mountains about Deeply Found
Interview here:
Question; Erika, tell us about your latest collection “Deeply Found”?
Oh wow, well it’s that amazing upside-down kingdom again conveying that the more deeply you are lost, the more deeply you will be found. This truth just blows my mind! These words were spoken to me in a dream several years ago. My work in my “Deeply Found” collection Conveys this meaning through our deep connection with nature and beauty and there is this divine mingling between two worlds. They seem separate but in reality, they are deeply intertwined. I use the layering of images to convey this connection throughout my work.
Question; Tell us more about how this relates to your personal journey as an artist.
Well For me, as I have certain revelations about things like deeply found, I am reminded of our deep connection to nature and beauty. I am personally drawn to it as if I’m being pulled into an experience or encounter with beauty itself. It did take me being very very lost to find it. As I sit here in this beautiful rainforest, under a canopy of lush green trees, with the birds singing and the wind swaying the tree tops, I feel that connection to beauty, it’s so close, as if I am home. I know that I have been found.
