It was only after seven months of languishing indoors without Ziggy that I began to find minute joy in daily living. My paintings were an outlet for experimentation, especially with the abstraction of information. This particular one comprises a convergence of childhood nostalgia and conflating memories set in a dilapidated room at my grandmother’s house. My grandmother doted on me and my twin sister. She created beautiful patchwork quilts and, like Ziggy, the quilt in the painting is my one and only.
I'm experimenting here with creating a painting by compositing photos both from childhood and from a more recent time. It was my attempt at "seeing" how to abstract a painting while creating something beautiful.
Dispatches from the Liminal Bathroom
Dispatches from the Liminal Bathroom is a newsletter for anyone who loves paintings, strange spaces, weird monologues, and the occasional sideways glimpse into the creative process. This is where my paintings meet the fieldnotes and monologues that orbit them — thoughts that surface sideways, like signals from another room.
You’ve wandered into a portal disguised as a newsletter.
Subscribing means stepping into a slower rhythm — new works, reflections on process, fieldnotes, odd transmissions, and low-key rebellions. Sometimes glimpses from the studio. Sometimes a pattern that only reveals itself when you stay in the portal a little longer.
There’s no urgency here. Just a threshold where art unfolds, and the writing follows. You’re welcome to stay as long as you like.
