2019 DON'T YUCK MY YUM

A common thread between my past work and my current work is the investigation of conversations between people, but now there’s a shift toward how we process and wear emotions. In the current state of our political and social climate, I feel the need to be more representational in form in order to have a place from which to present the abstract feelings we all share. I am offering the viewer the processed emotions I see around me, like contentment, discontent, overwhelm, etc.

All of these works were made from poured paint skins while at the Golden Artist Residency mid May-June 2017. I assembled and framed them when I returned home to Ruston, LA. I would never have had the opportunity to experiment like this if it hadn't been for this residency.

Please contact Cole Pratt Gallery for more info on these works! Thank you!
