will be showing some of her lovely boxed

All of us face many negative forces in life which seem to linger on us
like fungal growths constantly emitting spores attaching
themselves to our well being and dragging us down as we
battle against time which will devour all of us in the end. It's a universal
truth that we all battle violence and negativity in our lives at times, its
part of the life cycle of a slow or fast decomposition depending on
how well you can fight this war to live. These Life Sore Spores that
pollute our minds and infect our bodies are in a constant battle
against our positive energy.

Those heart worm menaces and parasitic rot seeping under our skin
dividing again and again creating new problems forcing us to battle
against them constantly as growths rise up. They are the sickness, sadness and
ugliness we face in life. This is the human war we all battle against in life,
attacked at every waking and sleeping moment of our existence we are all
soldiers battling these demons that thrive on our demise.

Life sore spores are the toxic mind molecules that can spread within
us taking control of our lives and destroy us. Presented here are my reflections
on those nagging aching parts in life that can eat away at our core and how
one copes with such pressures. How does one maintain beauty and grace
during such chaotic brain game times. Do we allow for colony collapse or do
we keeping fighting standing strong and proud. This body of work is an emotional
examination, retaliation and reaction to the turmoil that is caused by the Life Sore Spores.
