These are words, to put into words, the most recent paintings. They are oil paint on canvas, most have people in them save for a few that I painted while inside hotel rooms I was staying at. A list of some things I would use to describe them or where they came from, in no particular order of hierarchy, are as follows: Abstract thoughts represented through images, A broken narrative, Nostalgia. Desire. , Comfort/Discomfort, Domesticity fulfilled or unfulfilled for whatever unfulfilled domesticity means, Human connection and disconnect, Lack of another, Presence of another, Self-Identity effected by either of the aforementioned, The notion of two-ness with self or with another, The space you can fit into and the space that is foreign, The space you wish you fit into, Stranger- us or them, The traces we leave, Ethereal roughed around the edges, Body as vessel as testament to our existence
