Travel Painting

Travel is about the feeling of not belonging; being everywhere and knowing you are not of that place or the other or anywhere. The work carries my uneasiness and inability to feel a part of a culture or society because of my incapability to fit in or be a part of anything. Know that this is all within my mind and could be a result of my personal history. In making paintings I seek a place to land visually, emotionally and spiritually. The problem is that I never land I float/hover from place to place. I wonder what creates this within me? Is it some sort of anxiety that creates my instability? So Travel for me is the anxiety of not belonging and the constant search to belong and be a part of. In looking at the painting I find myself searching for a place to rest but the search never ends and the feeling of belonging never arrives. Travel maybe the product of stress and the anxiety my mind creates.
