Ships in a Crate
A friend I had't seen in a long while showed up to my studio nine months pregnant. So we shot. The questions of waiting for something, long anticipated, to come to fruition arose while the work came together. It was not just about pregnancy but about awaited hopes and dreams. As with all of the work this is both a photograph and painting. The base images we printed by hand in the darkroom and mounted to a custom made wooden panel. I chose to take the final work into more magical realism by extending the figure as if she were arising from the earth. Once the photos were mounted, a textured acrylic layer is painted over top in preparation for the oil painting which was done live. The work was covered entirely in black oil paint and then as I put on music, I wiped away the oil to reveal the image and wove in the color over ten minutes. The reason I limit the performance time is so that I can get out of the way and allow for 'another voice' to speak. I end up discovering the piece along with the audience and rarely anticipate the direction the piece takes. The white was the surprise element in this one and gave it an ethereal quality that I didn't expect but fell in love with. I hope the viewers can see their own story of expectant waiting in the work.
