Threes A Crowd Painting

About The Artwork: This painting is on paper and shipped in a box. The original is for sale, and it is also available for prints. My work draws inspiration from the idea that everything in nature is connected to everything else.Through carefully chosen materials, and mediums, compositions begin to encompass a journey through a multitude of layers that combine unconventional methods, gradually revealing a history of spatial interpretations. I explore space and form by intertwining markings with layers of paint and subtle transparencies, leading to the intersection of abstraction and the natural world. During the painting process, I am mapping out the underlying paint layers, collage, and drawing mediums. While some of this process is predetermined, other aspects arrive organically through subtracting and adding, carving, and peeling away paper and paint to reveal earlier parts of the work. My interest in transforming discarded things into art, is indicative of my upbringing where environmental consciousness was daily practice. The resulting multi-layered two-dimensional and repurposed three-dimensional works are metaphors for survival and hope, they serve as windows into natural landscapes and urban spaces, with pollution and consumerism hanging at the edges. Inspiration behind “Threes A Crowd” is the effect climate change has had on pollinators. Over the last decade their habitats and populations have been in steep decline across the globe. Pollinators are considered keystone species because their survival is vital to the survival of other species. They help to maintain healthy ecosystems, essential for plant reproduction, and genetic diversity in the plants they pollinate.
