BEASTIES
In my most recent series, You Weren’t Supposed to See This…I depicted figures in Arcadian settings, ruminating in their internal landscapes- self-contained, un-self conscious and unengaged with the viewer and the landscape.
These BEASTIES are depictions of the moment after that reverie is interrupted- when that self-contained state is broken, and self-consciousness and vulnerability emerges.
The BEASTIES are confronting the viewer and melding with the landscape. Like the figures of You Weren’t Supposed to See This… they are animal-like, even more so in that they are simultaneously fawning and caged, trying to find their place of interaction in a newly realized context.
