CONCEPT:

Clouds began appearing in my work in 2020 with the onset of Covid-19 lockdown measures. We entered what I call "floating time,” and with no punctuation, with days bleeding into one another, I wasn't much interested in committing concrete objects to the page. It didn't feel relevant. I felt untethered, unmoored, foggy and suspended midair. I wasn't processing things and didn't know quite what I thought or felt on any given day. In my relationships with others, too, I felt cloud-like: the way we couldn't touch, the feeling of being see-through or somehow not physically solid. And so: I began painting clouds.

My style favors hard lines. Though I am drawn to clouds for their transience and transparency—they can’t be tethered or harnessed or even touched-- visually I needed to find a way to say that with clear, firm lines. No cottony, barely-there wisps of clouds for me.

I settled on a stylized version of clouds inspired by Persian illuminated manuscripts, which allowed me to present foggy wisps in firm lines. These are symbols of ephemera, of un-graspable time, of see-through people.

The red thread—red to represent permanence, thread a symbol of resourcefulness and connection-- seeks to bind and to connect us with others in the midst of all this floating.
