Painting | 2024
"Through multifaceted portraits, I aim to capture both the complexity and harmony that exists in our lives and the ways in which we engage with one another. Like these works of art, discovery unfolds over time. We only truly know each other when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and invite people to examine our layers. This work is about taking that deeper look and contemplating what makes us whole. It also challenges viewers to think about all that we miss when we subscribe to the notion that the depth of the human spirit can be determined in the seconds it takes to swipe from one face to the next.
Combining features from two faces requires me to look at angles and see the subjects from multiple vantage points, and then pieces together facets to make a whole person. Viewers can clearly identify two distinct profiles, but like memories of faces that inspire the work, the images become blurred and intertwined. There is no specific point where one ends and the other begins. The work provides an opportunity for deeper connection and beg the viewer to stay awhile and stare."
