How much anger is too much? Certainly not the anger that, for many of us, is a remembering of a self we learned to hide and quiet. It is willful and disobedient. It is survival, liberation, creativity, urgency, and vibrancy. It is a statement of need. An insistence of acknowledgment. Anger is a boundary.

Soraya Chemaly, “Rage Becomes Her”

This year I have been doing a lot of abstract painting as art therapy. I have been trying to channel my fury and grief about current events onto the canvas. “howl” is my most recent work.
