I USED MINERAL OIL IN A PUMP SPRAYER TO PAINT THE DESIGN ON THE PAVEMENT.  IT MADE THE AREA WHERE I SPRAYED IT DARKER THAN THE DRY AREA, SO IT LOOKED VERY ORGANIC. THIS IS TO REMIND ALL OF US THAT SUFFER FROM PAIN, THAT IF WE CONSTANTLY THINK CATASTROPHIC THOUGHTS, THAT IS HOW WE WILL FEEL.  LET THE CONSTANT FLOW OF POSITIVE ENERGY AND THOUGHT PROCESS SWALLOW YOU AND... http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/67817/43078/thoughts-pain http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/67817/39106/peace-pain Sun, 31 Aug 2008 12:23:29 -0400 Squeegi05 If you have seen my creations on this exhibit, so know I come up with some very different ideas to combat my pain through art and creation.   This piece took up my whole block of my back ally in Chicago. I got a pump sprayer and filled it with mineral oil. Then sprayed it on the pavment in the design I wanted.  It represents the feelings swirlling in my head on the backdrop of the landscape in which I live.  Like most of you... http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/67817/39106/peace-pain http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/67817/39015/chalk-drawing Sat, 30 Aug 2008 13:09:22 -0400 Squeegi05 i FORGOT TO POST MY PIC HERE IT IS http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/67817/39015/chalk-drawing http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/67817/39014/creating-ease Sat, 30 Aug 2008 13:06:50 -0400 Squeegi05 THIS IS A CHALK DRAWING I DID ON THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE IN CHICAGO.  I REPRESENTS THE MAZE IN WHICH I FEEL I GET LOST IN THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY.  BUT WHIT THE COLORS BEING SO VIBRANT, I HOPE THERE WILL BE A END TO THE NIGHTMARE. http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/67817/39014/creating-ease http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/67817/38245/sidewalk Sat, 23 Aug 2008 22:35:46 -0400 Squeegi05 I CREATE TO CONTROL MY PAIN. IT HELPS ME TO KEEP MIND BUSY. I CREATED THIS DESIGN WITH A PRESSURE WASHER ON A DIRTY CONCRETE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE IN CHICAGO.  THE ORGANIC PATTERN REPRESENTS THE POSITVE ENERGY THAT HELPS PEOPLE IN PAIN. WE SHOULD SURROUND OURSELVES WITH IT. IT COULD REPRESENT THAT GOOD FRIEND WHO ALLWAYS CALLS, THE SPOUSE THAT IS ALLWAYS THERE, THE STRANGER WHO JUST SAYS HELLO.  GOD BLESS ALL WHO ARE IN PAIN,... http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/67817/38245/sidewalk http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/67817/37987/jewels-eden Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:39:29 -0400 Squeegi05 I creaate this piece from a mirror that is 4'x5', and is painted with a material called gallery glass.   It made it to remind myself that even though I feel the pain everyday, I know eventually after I have lived a whole life here on earth, there will be no pain.  If you could imagine what it would look like.....this is what it looks like to me. Making this piece was so good for me, it reminded me that God is in charge. I will try... http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/c/67817/37987/jewels-eden
