About the Series
The word liminal comes from the Latin word ‘limen’, meaning threshold – any point or place of entering or beginning. A liminal space is the time between the ‘what was’ and the ‘next.’ It is a place of transition, a season of waiting, and not knowing.
This exhibition addresses the liminal space we experience after an intimate relationship has ended. A series of 8 paintings depicts memories of growing together, falling in love, moving apart and healing. They portray the deep vulnerability we allow when we share our body and spirit with another.
The paintings honor the strength we carry in our spines and the resilience we have to embody to move forward. It invites the viewer into the sacred emotional space often only reserved for those closest to us and helps us recognize there is hope in the process of returning home to yourself.

Location: All the Sudden, 906 Koerner Lane, Austin, TX.
Soundscape Provided by Plume Girl:
Plume Girl is the experimental, synth-acoustic solo project of Hindustani classical singer/composer, Sowmya Somanath. In Indian classical music, a rāga, translated as “coloring, tinting”, is the melodic framework used to invoke a mood or atmosphere. Each rāga has its own distinct personality, akin to living beings. Through improvisation, one dips into the well of imagination to bring unique sonic form and life to the rāga.
To Somanath, music is a curious dialogue with the divine Self, the invisible reality. With enough time spent on this journey, a tender and clear truth emerges from the unknown—underlying the illusion of a splintered universe, there is a blissful oneness.
You can find her music on Bandcamp and a live set on Youtube.
