THE LONGEST MARRIAGE - ‘THE LOOPING HUMAN’
‘The Looping Human’, 2023. 1.6 x 2m. Acrylic, charcoal and chalk on gessoed canvas.
This is very much a transitional piece. I think that’s the theme as of now or has been for 6+ months. Some kind of death and grieving of systems, aspects of ourselves, actual death. What was once important to us, only to perish while we reevaluate our thoughts, again. I know this is fucking cheery.
I keep saying ‘something’s changed’ with so many of these pieces but the change doesn’t rest. This madness is ongoing and maybe I’m okay with this now. The art is heavy, thick with desire and overall endurance of the word ‘heavy’. Slightly existential, a bit insular. Such is life. There’s no silver lining I need to dig up this time. More rather, a letting of life happen. Because it will and it is. And maybe that’s my naive permission to the divine to take me where I’m meant to. I’m laughing at the word ‘permission’.
I removed the original posting of this. I felt she (because this piece is a woman, naturally) was deserving of more attention. I was never sure if she was complete. I don’t think we ever feel our thoughts complete. All women are human and we are, indeed, complete.
