My work aims to pause the exchange between cells. I hold their movement, interchanges, and beauty in space to remind us that all of existence is constantly shifting, composed of these small structures. Creating art during the pandemic was a way to engage in spiritual thought; to remember that our composition is ubiquitous, merely an agreement between molecules that choose to get along. My painting process is mostly fingerpainting and layering over time. In a sense, this is to mimic a higher figure, molding and altering that of which the world is composed. In creating this art, I thought about toxicity. What is exchanged through viruses and toxic views devalues human life. To show toxicity in my work, I added more contrast and colors associated with alarms such as fluorescents. --Label design by exhibit curator Nancy DeJoy.
