acrylic, ink, oil, and spray on raw cotton

2021

Lush Restraint no.11 reminds me to let go. It is beautifully fluid and wild. My process uses several materials. Inks, oils, acrylics, raw pigments, spray, pools and splashes of water. I soak and stain the raw cotton, scribble and dollop paint and pigments onto the fibres. The quiet flying shape on the top left side reminds me of upward motion, change, release. Lush Restraint no.11 work with all its contrast gives me hope.

A recent collector said my work is an ever changing picture in their home. They mentioned their appreciation of the movement and stillness in my work. I love noticing this in my work. The reminder to be moving but at times stop, rest.
