"Return to Sea Isle"
Watercolor, chalk pastel, image transfer, mod podge on cold press illustration board
28 x 36 cm
2021
*unfinished work-exhibition text refers to final plan
"Return to Sea Isle" reflects the transience of time and how a returning to a familiar location yearly can highlight the amount of change that occurs over a year.
This piece is inspired by the work of Njideka Akunyili Crosby, who uses image transfer and familial portraits as a way of celebrating the connections between her family and culture.  My work uses image transfer to impart ghost-like images of my children as toddlers into the scene.  Over the faded beach scene, outlines of bicycle tires and bridges repeat, highlighting familiar elements from Sea Isle and imparting information about the location to the viewer.  In the foreground are drawn images of my children today, celebrating their growth as marked by our yearly return to Sea Isle.

Misplaced pillow I is part of series of pieces inspired by the idea of unconventional ways of sleeping. Or rather what it means to choose to sleep in a certain way. Looking at the state of the bed or the placement of things in it, it tries to reflect on the physical, psychological and personal state of the person occupying the space. It is inspired by Tracy Emin's bed and tries to understand how very mundane things can help you gain insight into more complex situations.

“Reflections of the Garden After Anna”
Cyanotype
61cm x 66cm
2019

The images of the florals were created out of what I called “found and stolen” moments as primary caregiver for my children and are images of our wildflower garden, sketched out over the course of the summer.

The cyanotype process appeals to me because of its rich and slightly variating shade blue.  The color and tones contrasted with the lightness of the image take an ordinary image and create a mystical and spiritual feel.

Influenced by Peter Doig, Richard Mayhew, and Agnes Martin, who each embody experience of places in their work, I respond to my environment by waiting in a place until I belong there. Using abstraction, omission, and color, this work reflects a hike through a historically charged West Virginia landscape, along with who I was with and information about the place itself.

My work is inspired by the reclining female nude throughout the history of art. I was particularly pushing back on the Venus of Urbino by Titian and the ways in which his reclining female is for the male gaze. This work inspired me to create a piece of work about my lived experiences within the female body particulalrly with endometriosis and adenomyosis. I have also looked at works by Wangetchi Mutu and the colors and textures she uses within her work.

This piece was inspired by the objects presented and absent in Felix Gonzalez-Torres' Untitled (portrait of Ross in LA) and Gordon Parks American Gothic. Both works are portraits and I was intrigued by the visible objects, the candy, and two missing buttons on the woman in American Gothic. I started thinking about absence/presence and markings of time and began sewing button holes for buttons that do not exist, and the relationship between the concepts.

Hogan Sunrise was inspired by Monet’s Impression Sunrise painting. I like to take photos and use them as a reference. This particular watercolor painting is a scene I captured at my mothers home on the Navajo reservation. I wanted to capture the mood of the morning at that moment using atmospheric perspective.

Joyously Trapped conveys the joy I have doing what I love to do most, which is dance and wearing my natural hair opposed to straightening my hair to trim it and appease the world around me. I was inspired by Ernie Barnes' "The Sugar Shack" (1971) which is a reflection of when he could not attend a dance opposed to the first time his childhood innocence was met with the “sin of dance.” I was also inspired by Marc Chagall's "The Birthday" (1887) in which he depicts the love he feels for his soon to be wife. Both artists show their feelings and perceptions of an experience in an expressive manner. They both elongate and/or exaggerate figures in their work.

"Kyoko" was inspired by my partner's experiences navigating their culture.  The piece is unfinished, but is intended also to include Czech flower designs on the parasol.  I was inspired by Yoonmi Nam's juxtaposition of imagery and simple line qualities.  The addition of red thread was inspired by the Wertheim twins' elevation of "women's handicraft" in their coral reef series.

"The inevitable" is a piece inspired by Edgar Degas' pastel piece entitled "Waiting" and Georgia O'Keeffe's "Cow Skull with Calico Roses". The merge of these two works is intended to demonstrate the common themes that both artists portrayed in their work: every day objects and banal moments, and to highlight the beauty of life. In both works there is a sense of time passing, or having past, and I merged them to emphasized the ephemeral quality of life's moments. (With more time it would be completed either in acrylic paint or pastel.)

Face in Blue was created in response to Fred Machetanz Face to Face and Picasso's Old Guitarist. I was inspired by the range in the two monochromatic blue paintings, the contrast of light and dark, and the intense emotions of the polar bear and guitarist.

My painting is inspired by the grimy colors of Honoré Daumier’s Third-Class Carriage and the hyperrealism and intentionality of strokes in Fanny by Chuck Close.  While Daumier's work drew attention to the status of his subjects, Close's use of finger painting brought texture to the wrinkles of his relative.  Combining both attributes, I focused on the life of an actor and friend whose role is in limbo due to the pandemic.  The symbolic use of leather ties into the character in which we would portray.

My piece is inspired by Francisco Goya’s The Third of May 1808 (1814) and Pablo Picasso’s Massacre in Korea (1951). Both paintings depict a scene of military violence committed by armed soldiers on a group of unarmed citizens. I was inspired by the way Goya uses intense lighting and value to emphasize the sympathetic subjects of his painting (the Spaniards) and the way Picasso uses over-the-top symbolism to drive home his political opinions. Today the United States still commits acts of military violence against unarmed citizens. Sometimes even the citizens of the US.

Going Insane was inspired by the works of Minnie Evans and David Carson. Minnie Evans was a surrealist/ folk artist whose artwork was inspired by visions and dreams she experienced throughout her life. Symmetry and human faces surrounded by nature are common themes in her artwork. David Carson is a graphic designer and art director who is known for unconventional and experimental graphic style.

Static is inspired by the feeling I experience when submerged in water. It is the sound I hear in my head right before breaking through the surface of the water. A transcendental moment when my mind is clear of thought and I hear only the rush around me and see the bright light at the surface. This piece is inspired by JMW Turner’s ability to create an atmospheric effect with his expressive brushstrokes and skillful study of light. I also drew inspiration from Jackson Pollock’s ability to create depth in his pieces while still maintaining an element of spontaneity in his work.

I was inspired by Caravaggio's "The Calling of the Saint Matthew"  in how the depth of the darkness giving a sense of mystery of daily life. It was here that I used the dark shadows to create an intense shadow on the everyday object.  Georgia O'Keefe influenced my goal for blending using modern-day technology. O'Keeffe would use objects that were relativity valuable to her when painting. It was this I used an everyday object of the apple. The use of opacity was used to help with blending.

Stained Glass Fashion utilizes the stained glass window design by Frank Lloyd Wright as a flowing fabric used in fashion design.  I was inspired by the architectural properties within the design using line, shape, and space to create pattern. The use of this pattern was to create a garment that would look like a stained glass piece.

Interwoven is about the coexistence between nature and the impact of man and the infrastructure that we all rely on to live. Inspired by 2 artists, Nnenna Okore, a Nigerian textile maker and Annegret Soltau, a German Photagrapher, I was inspired by their internal feelings of self and where we fit into our own worlds, by using the weaving of phone charging cables to represent the reliance on devices in a complex world when all I want is to be hovering above in Nature.

Centipede Melodies is a reaction to the works of Beksinski and Egon Schiele. The image illustrates a hybridity of surreal and fantastical elements, combined with the awkwardness of the human form. I have been inspired by Schiele's works since childhood, and when I discovered Beksinski's pieces in high school, I drew a direct correlation to Schiele's figures and Beksinski's surreal depictions of nightmarish figures. Both artists exaggerate limbs and appendages, while focusing on bizarre compositions, and color palettes to induce a specific mood and atmosphere. There is a painful elegance in both artists works.

Blooming Development is inspired by William Morris' work during the Arts & Crafts movement of blending beauty and use, and the watercolors created by Kaye Bishop where she uses a repetitive pattern for her backgrounds.  The main design symbolizes the development of a flower blooming from seed into conception and the opaqued background symbolizes the fading of the leaves as they finish their life cycle.  The overall concept is intended to be printed in repetition and used in the home.

Inside Voices depicts different feelings during quarantine. I was inspired by Frida Kahlo’s use of symbolism to share her feelings while she was on bedrest. The stoic faces juxtaposed with the more organic background symbolizes the different feelings that are constantly rolling during the day. I was inspired by Georgia O’Keefe’s use of bold color to add energy to the piece.
