Connections Series
The auctioned painting comes from the Connections Series.
These paintings are about relationships, tension, and how we never stop playing games - for better or for worse. Post-lockdown, I kept thinking of the expression ‘hanging on by a thread’ and how we were affected in all aspects of life: work, politics, relationships. I started to incorporate thread into my work and to create tension and even scarring of the canvas in abstract form. After this exploration, I realized I wanted to do figurative work. We came out of lockdown wary of touching one another, even the people that we love and I wanted this series to bring back the joy of discovery and creation.
I raised an only child in lockdown. I watched the next generation figure out how to build relationships online & mostly through games. I played Cat’s Cradle when I was young. This is a game that, for the most part, needs a partner. A game of hands reaching out for other hands. A game about creation. The game stops when you can’t make anything anymore.
