Reflective Painting

"Reflective," like every painting in the Wear Your he(Art) series is a snapshot of my emotions and state of mind during the process of creating. The process behind the Wear Your he(art) series is as unconventional as the artwork itself. Wearing a single side of a white shirt for the entirety of painting a canvas, I use it as a second canvas, but without conscious regard as to where I wipe my brushes (or hands…I’m a messy painter. It’s all about letting my feelings flow freely onto the fabric. When the painting is finished, sometimes all there that’s there is a mess, but other times the result is surprisingly beautiful. Once both sides of the shirt are filled (meaning I’ve completed two paintings) I stand back and look at it like I would an intentional painting. Does the composition work? Does it need a little enhancement here and there? If it works as a stand alone painting I cut it out, stretch it and voila!…a second painting is born. “Reflective” is one of those surprising gems. Amidst the chaos of colors and shapes you might catch a glimpse of a human figure – a head and shoulders, perhaps. A selection of a pivotal moment in my life…a time of uncertainty and self-reflection. My hope is that you will find your own connection with the piece. Maybe it will stir something within you, evoke a feeling, or spark a memory.
