This series ⁣

was born out of a challenge ⁣

I set for myself⁣

to stay small⁣

⁣

Having been called ⁣

too much⁣

too honest⁣

too analytical ⁣

too emotional⁣

too fucken some thing ⁣

⁣

So I learned ⁣

to put myself ⁣

in a box ⁣

and compartmentalize ⁣

my⁣

self ⁣

away⁣

(to at least some degree)⁣

⁣

I was often still ⁣

too bulshy ⁣

too cocky ⁣

too quick to judge ⁣

or change direction ⁣

too flighty⁣

or too in your face⁣

⁣

Too much ⁣

in one direction ⁣

or another ⁣

I could never work it out ⁣

so after a while ⁣

I stopped trying ⁣

⁣

And when I started painting ⁣

three years ago ⁣

I started big ⁣

bold⁣

and deep

⁣

But now

I’ve challenged myself ⁣

to stay small ⁣

 

These pieces⁣

are the babies ⁣

born from the box ⁣

I tried ⁣

and failed ⁣

to live within⁣

their energy so rich ⁣

it will not be contained ⁣

within ⁣

its minuscule sized box⁣

⁣

They emit a frequency ⁣

you can only truly feel ⁣

in their presence⁣

and on the perfect wall ⁣

they will transform the vibe⁣

of an entire space⁣

⁣

I can’t wait to see ⁣

where they land⁣

the stories they will weave ⁣

the tales they will tell
