“a name for that which i do not know” (oil on canvas) is finally done! the story behind this triptych is long winded and complicated, but it’s mainly an exercise for me to explore themes around gender and gender presentation and my own feelings around that using my three youngest siblings as the means to do that. onto the next

“Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

— Kurt Vonnegut (via harrysblacknailpolish)

sorry for being basically dead! this quick video of a piece for an upcoming show is my attempt to break out of my haze of stress over my fast approaching shows and assignments. i’ve got too many projects to do and not enough time to do them all

just wanted to say thanks for the nice messages on here! they mean a lot. i’m thinking about making prints to sell; i’ve gotten some requests for prints and tapestries of my large abstract pieces… if you would be interested please message me so i can know if i should start that process
