Assume the Lightness Painting

"Assume the Lightness", is part of a series called “My Tribe: In our Aging World,” which addresses society’s misconceptions on growing old and raises awareness of our aging population and encourages a dialogue between the two. We bear the loss of youth by understanding that our thoughts of the “rush” and “busyness” become less. Our responsibilities become lighter and things that were important before becomes frivolous. The painting is on a large sheet of canvas that I have pulled and frayed at the edges to loosen the fibers. The distress canvas is screwed onto a wood paneled frame that looks weathered. These treatments to the canvas and frame further strengthen the symbolism of our aging bodies. The human form dominates the canvas in size to reinforce the message I am projecting to the viewer. The message is that our aging population is growing, vital to society, and full of splendor. My goal is to get people to understand our aging population in a more compassionate way.
