“Depression” 2024

acrylic on canvas

10 × 10 inches

Winter is dark in more than one way. We all know there is less sunlight, but we don’t always talk about how the darkness impacts our moods. When I feel the seasonal affective disorder, one of the ways it shows up is reaching out to people who are no longer in my life. In late 2024, this resulted in me feeling some strong jealousy that spurred me to start creating. Ever since, I have made more art than ever before in my life.

"Bandaged"

For me, plaster cloth brings to mind two things: art school and medicine. Plaster can be rough or smooth, used to create a replica, repair something old, or to form something new entirely. Here plaster cloth draped on canvas reveals movement and 3-dimensional forms we don’t always expect to see on this substrate. Leaving the underlying cloth visible reminds the viewer of the ways plaster is used to cover and bandage a broken body. Seen here rough, with the mark of the hand left visible; is this repair, copy, or creation?
