Behind the Work: This Must be the Place

Behind the Work: This Must be the Place

In late 2019 I started to think about a new series of work called “What You Seek.” I think we all have defined for ourselves what feeling “home” means and I love that this painting, my first completed piece in 2020 and my last completed piece pre-Covid, is the one I made before everything changed. I look at this painting now and I can imagine how the world felt to me in that moment - open, exciting and ripe for the picking. In many ways I still think that it is and this work will forever commemorate that moment in time when everything was possible because the place and happiness found me.

I think a lot of people assume that the world works in a predictable, logical, and linear way but if 2020 has taught me anything it’s that this isn’t the case. Expecting that things will actually go on as planned just perpetuates this fantasy.
