This is a passage I documented while in the creative moment of conceptualizing the first of these pieces. The writing was initially inspired by the the prompt of: time. That one word was all it took; it was definitely a crippling thing during that period in my life. With those words came these paintings, that speak volumes more.
This first piece is titled High [shown above] for reasons that might not be the obvious; it was developed from a far more technical approach that I was used to at the time as well as a reflection of myself in that moment. You could say, it’s a self-portrait of sorts.
