Barbara Connor Painting

The name refers to the violent storms that swept over the UK in the Christmas of 2016, Storm Barbara and Storm Conor. During these storms my family happened to visit Scotland’s Caladonian Canal near Fort William. Against the storm, all the boats along the canal had been moored and wrapped in plastic tarps, like gigantic cocoons. It was this otherworldly nature that prompted me to paint it for the first time, and I became near-obsessed with these wrapped ships, ultimately resulting in this large scale painting. The experience of walking down a canal and feeling like I was examining hibernating alien creatures, demonstrated to me how close reality is to obscurity, and how little a push it takes to bring the obscurity to the surface.
