“Bubble”

January, 2024

In this piece, I utilised a number of different methods and mediums to manipulate and apply the paint onto the canvas, as a way to capture the multitude of hysteria and noise out there in the world.

As an ode to the Zen Buddhist artistic style of the ‘ichi enso,’ I wanted to capture what this wonderful way of life has done for me since it has come into my orbit.

I often refer to the practices I implement into my life — whether it is meditation, reading, writing, exercise routine, daily chores around the home, etc. — as a kind-of ‘bubble.’

They support me in maintaining a state of being that allows me to navigate through a life that is rife with pitfalls, smoke, and mirrors. They help me to stay focused upon the internal navigation system residing within my heart.
