My studio is a total disaster. Honestly, it's bad. While working on this latest collection, it's become clear that I've unintentionally built a cocoon around myself. I’ve realized that big canvases, amongst piles of material remnants and paint act as a sort of shield from what seems like a relentless barrage of global chaos. Some days, I’ve felt overwhelmed by it, not sure what to do with my sadness, let alone make a meaningful impact. Curling up in a ball is always an option, but a very smart couple taught me that when things feel challenging, it’s time to get to work.
So I've been doing little else these past few months. I get up, grab a coffee and disappear into my mess where I try to make something beautiful. There I’m able to forget for awhile, even if it’s just for a short time… a precious relief I wish for our world.
