Closeup: ‘Triple Graces’Closeup: ‘Triple Graces’‘Triple Graces’, dye and acrylic body impression on canvas, 48 by 57.5 inches; 2025.
These three graces represent a triple threat, as wo-men of truth and empowerment, all born of earth. The busts are body impressions that reflect the range of human skin tones and ethnicities. The trio are splashed by the rainbow of our sexuality and gender continuum, as though beating from their hearts. They represent the leadership inherent in feminine strength, the value of balancing masculine and feminine, and the resilience of community via the collaboration of honest people. As allies, we can usurp the current binary, racist, sexist, and violence-dominated system to grow healthfully together here on earth.

These experiments in planning and communication combine instinct and the strength of thought with movement and colors; all freely swayed by the chaos in the world. Whether thrown, brushed, or body stamped, color is represented as analogy and its own conversation. Space and form suggest with subliminal intent, asking us; how do we stop hurting each other and move forward together, to allow for our continued existence on this shared planet.

“When I surf the wave, my instincts can turn the storm around me to magic, evidenced by the direct reflections of my thoughts and feelings in what I see taking shape on the ground covered in paper, at which I fling dye out of old drink cups, mixed from only primary colors. After days of drying flat, the results line the walls of my room, rearranging themselves into an ever evolving story that reflects the world and its impact on my life.”

The further away
the smaller and closer together
till eventually…
tiny dots on the horizon
then disappear altogether.
