Working on a new style of art. It’s been percolating in my brain for months. Think about how we’re all born a blank canvas. Then we’re taught what it takes to be rewarded and punished. Then we figure out how to live within the social constructs that we need to trust to live in society. Within our gender, within our race, class… even time. So I layered all of that into the canvas and added some therapy —by sanding away the layers back to the canvas, shaving layers just recently added, as the therapy shows us how to cope and deal with it all. Because therapy is messy and goes deeper in some cases, and doesn’t touch other spots. But then the social constructs of when women specifically are really controlled where and when we can stop and rest. What do you think? #itsyourauntie #artistsofinstagram #artistsincanada
We had a Colour Run type morning. Without the run. Ha. We had a photographer come to the studio so we broke out the plants and made a mandala outside, threw some coloured cornstarch at each other and celebrated the end of another 5-week unit. Love this place so much.
