Acrylic Dumpster Fire
Making bodies of evolving work during the pandemic has been nurturing, revealing and extremely exciting. When the world felt like it had come to a complete stop, creativity, flourished. Beautiful things always come out of bad moments in time and sometimes I wonder if the pandemic had not happened, would I have been this dialed into my artistic practice?My artistic career was initially started from lack of productivity and boredom before the pandemic. In the pandemic, I am constantly reminded of the importance of moving my body and keeping my mind sharp through these tumultuous times. Something as simple as the concept of getting out of the house and creating something new when everything feels so stagnant has been incredibly powerful for myself and my peers. In almost all of my artwork and submitted work here, I think about my best friend Jack who I feel lives through my paintings.
