Two paintings materialized today. The first a view of the Honor Oak purple tree through some kind of frame, screen, barrier, grid. Today felt like it was largely about nests, about safety, about home and being seen in the home and seeing the home from afar. Not sure I love one square of the scraped screen lines ducking behind the tree, feels a bit too cheeky, may have to solidify that bit into a glitch pixel blackout.
The second orbits around on a hill: house on a hill, home on a hill, up on a hill. “As the day dissolves.” Pretty delighted by its toy feeling, its playful colors that offset the grandeur of the image; the title should encapsulate that simultaneity. Maybe Terraform.
