This original painting features a wooden chair against a southwestern lanscape. This piece was created by taking two identical paintings on paper, tearing them into strips and piecing them back together to make one large fragmented image of a chair and its surroundings.
The title of this piece is “Movement is Time Stillness is Eternity”
The title for this painting comes from a quote by Joseph Campbell form his book The Power Of Myth. “The central point of the world is the point where stillness and movement are together. Movement is time, but stillness is eternity. Realizing how this moment of your life is actually a moment of eternity, and experiencing the eternal aspect of what you’re doing in the temporal experience—this is the mythological experience.”
This piece is about relishing in the experience of being alive, its like watching a time-lapse of a still chair under an ever changing sky. The pink triangle represents ones path, and how you are always on it, forever moving forward in time, but also still right where you are.
Viewers always ask, 'Why chairs?' I think chairs are a profoundly beautiful and evocative metaphor for the human experience. I think of them as figures in my work; their arrangements and interactions suggesting relationships, the space, and time between us.
Chairs symbolize stillness and presence. We use chairs to hold space for others. An empty chair can represent a person coming or going. My fascination with chairs evolved during a period of difficult personal experiences that I could not easily solve my way out of. It became evident that my artwork was guiding me to sit with my feelings, to be present with myself and the pain I was experiencing.
My work utilizes symbolism, whimsical palettes, and patterns to create a thought provoking balance between deep human existentialism and profound joy. The interplay of dramatic shadows and bright light represent the passage of time, and the inevitable changes we all go through. My work invite viewers to reflect on connection, transition, and the universal stories within our shared human experience.
