DIPTYCH
An interpretation of my experience driving eastbound on I10 through Texas with the full moon to my left and the setting sun to my right.

I’m attempting to create beauty out the little I have, a reflection of how I felt after experiencing a series of traumas and financial crises, and consequent food and housing insecurity.

Everything in my life felt like chaos so I desired simplicity and symmetry, centeredness and peace. I wanted to make but couldn’t afford fancy art supplies, so I looked around at what I had- three small tubes of paint and some scrap board.

Although the designs are mechanical in composition and form, these humble materials and the textures within them heavily inform my direction and commitment to capturing and maintaining the human vulnerability I felt when I first began.
