"This painting shows the process of unlearning certain patterns and behaviours that can be unhelpful. This act can be symbolized by repeatedly walking into a porcupine. First, we may not even see it at all. Next, we may see the porcupine, but may continue to touch it to double check the sharpness of its quills. As we become more self aware and heal, we learn to eventually walk around the porcupine by baking a different path. It is all part of unlearning and healing." -- Provided by artist.
