“The rough edges and soft lines of the main figure of Sprout evoke a sense of organic mayhem, while the strictly geometric shadows remind the viewer of its firm place in this flat world. The blurry, rough background of this work suggests a place of chaos, while the angular subject anchors itself in shadows with the intention of creation, perhaps in spite of the coarse and bleak elements of its environment. The playful growth on the top of the cubist figure’s head evokes an element of joy in trepidation, careful exploration under duress, and extending the barriers of self to create something new. Something tiny and timid, but something unique. Something that might eventually bring color to a colorless void.”
