Listening to the Rain
Jan 13-Feb 25 2023
I cut my teeth as a freelance illustrator. I developed muscle as an artist in education. I lost my way in a residency. I discovered my spine listening to the rain.
SHOW STATEMENT
This work is a collection of short stories about humanity.
the egg is an invitation for relationship
listening begs earnest attention
rain is the almost invisible present
and the human figure is a vessel for our humanity.
There is a re-occurring rhythm of attachment, rupture and re-attachment. It occurs in the subject matter as well as in the style through the coupling of spontaneity and intention in the marks.
I often travel through uncomfortable terrain to visit histories and contemplate systems of behaviour.
I experiment with forms of expression - poetic and humorous, so the viewer can feel safe to jump in and contemplate too.
