These feet have been a consistent motif, at times it even feels inescapable. Paired with the home this creates a powerful and childlike image with the more adult meaning hidden in the back for the owner to hold as their own secret. I couldn't put this on the front of the piece, it was too honest and I felt too vulnerable to leave it there. The texture on this piece is so visceral and is one of my favorite parts of this piece! I also love working with the found canvasses, making something new from something that could've once been junk. 
 
I didn't used to consider myself a painter, if you handed me a pencil I wouldn't know what to do with it. But, after having a year to just make without instruction, guidance, or a prompt I finally found my own path and style of painting. I've secretly been working on two different collections for the past year and both heavily influenced this work but provided me with the experience to find an innate and natural way of making that felt true to me. Since this happened it almost feels like there aren't enough canvasses in the world to fill all the compositions that are constantly floating around my mind. 
 
These pieces are purely were created absent mindedly, in a meditative or manic state. These pieces lived with me in my bedroom for a month and became a journal of what I was feeling, thinking and going through and now exist as a representation of this incredibly troubling time in my life. At the end of the day it's nice to know that beauty can always come from the darkest experiences.
