About Me
I went on holiday to Italy and when I was there I went to a museum. My paintings are the souvenirs from my trip.
What I saw:
Jagged fingers. Foot on his head. Eyes are glazed almonds and lips are from a frog. There’s a recession before the chin and then it juts out into a big hill. One woman’s hands are like shovels scooping up a newborn, but another has slight hands with fingers that look like needles. A baby is a loaf of bread. That baby is so long and that one was shrunken. Rosy fingered dawn. Wings come from your ears. A sheep is an angel and a dove is on fire. A book and a sword. Sword through a head. Stigmata. Homunculus. The Queen of Heaven.
I thought about the metals and dirt and bugs it took to make their paintings. I laughed sometimes walking through the halls. A dove was on fire.
It all meant something. The forms, the gestures, the colours. They stick in my mind and in my photos. I take them home with me. They become something else.
