Altered Perceptions explores the stories and narratives around the death of Rowan, the madness, the quest for healing and the altering effect it had on me and my perceptions of the natural world. As it was in his painted world, I too experienced some along with the deep crippling dread I found a new sense of who my daughter was, what her life meant. Held up by her strength and her etherial grace, we found so much magic in everything she was teaching us.
