This work speaks to how connected we are to each other through social media and also how we can view events in nature through our computers. The marks throughout the painting represent hashtags symbolizing a connection and how we share information via the internet.
I was inspired by the sky dance of the starling murmuration flocking together swooping and twisting across the sky in one spectacular swarm and their reason to group together in numbers for safety. They gather to exchange information such as good feeding areas.
Movement is one of the defining characteristics of my work. The initial marks on the canvas are gestural, connecting action with emotion.
All subsequent marks, are an intuitive response. The composition evolves as I work, building layers over the textured surface and using color to create a sense of depth.
