bless this death
2023-present
“bless this death” is the loose title for the collection of work made 2023 to present. it explores drawing and painting techniques, mostly gouache and pastel on paper, to allow the subconscious to emerge, sharing surreal landscapes and abstract representations of moments of ritual, rupture, and dreams. and they honor the reality of inner worlds as tangibly as the external, providing space to understand the forces that shape us in times of intense transformation.
