“This lively and dynamic painting summons the viewer to explore his own energy of creation and posturing. Seeking self-awareness, the figure in Beginning of Something Organic is unafraid to confront the ways we present ourselves to our world(s). The figure invites you: “Pose in a mirror. Watch your reflection from different angles but always see the true nature. Acknowledge the Battle of Perception.” In a safe, warm arrangement of natural hues and organic, stirring shapes, this painted creature allows for the paradoxes of self—the outer shell we display in our daily, mundane interactions and the inner, sacred sanctuary of identity, both of which coexist seamlessly.” -Interpretation by Heather John
Artist Statement:
I hold this piece up at different angles every time I view it. It’s a perspective piece. The figure sitting in a chair, not quite human, not even quite animal, shifts on a stool to pose – it tries to please to viewer but instead is a bit awkward and perhaps even a bit unnerving.
