Shimmering 2

This captivating painting features a surreal composition of intertwined human figures, presenting a dynamic exploration of human connection and emotion. The forms are executed in soft hues of purple, blue, and muted skin tones, creating an ethereal quality that invites the viewer to interpret the relationships displayed. The figures' expressions convey a mix of vulnerability and intensity, with their limbs merging seamlessly, suggesting intimacy and complexity within their interactions. Delicate, flowing lines accentuate the figures and suggest movement, while the background remains minimally detailed, allowing the focus to remain on the artwork's emotive content.
This painting would be a striking addition to contemporary living spaces, such as a modern living room or a cozy reading nook, where it can inspire conversation and introspection. Its muted palette allows it to complement a range of interior styles, from minimalist to eclectic, making it versatile for various settings such as galleries or private collections.

To give physical form to images bubbling up from the unconscious, I use my own and my friends’ bodies as a visual and visceral source. I gather my loved ones to pose with me, often in acrobatically challenging ways using circus contraptions suspended from my studio ceiling. This hands-on physical experience allows me to know in my bones the tension between gravity and the freedom of the leap, thus exploring aspects of the human condition that are particularly interesting to me: pushing against our limits; the risk of falling; the co-presence of vulnerability and strength.
