25" x 25" x 1" acrylic painting on canvas, ready to hang
This piece from my art show, MESSY BODIES, depicts a human face and hands on top of and interwoven with brightly colored abstract mark making. The hands appear to be holding onto a shape that seems like a person curled in on themselves. One of the flowers in the piece has roots that move toward the fingers, resembling the veins in a human hand. This person has created boundaries that make them feel safe, they keep what they need (flowers, colors, art, magic) and don't take on what they don't.
