ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Painted sides. Ready to hang. A collaboration with Chad Rea, another Saatchi-featured artist, during the time of quarantine for an exhibition that was canceled along with so many others. We each started with a canvas and then switched. I started the piece on the left, Chad added the phrase, X over the eye, and paper butterfly. At first, it began as a joke by Chad, but I loved it so we ran with it. The subtext is that past generations have it far worse than we do now. For the right half, Chad created the background, type, x-out face, and collaged bluebird. I added sequins and hand-sewn fabric. The phrase "It can't always be worse" is a twist of a reflection of current events, as well as a response to Chad's contribution to my piece. Originals can be purchased as a pair, on either artist profile.
