Foyer With Llewyn, Watersoluble Oil On Canvas, 27" x 22"

My home, the spaces and items that held so much of myself have been infiltrated and disrupted. Motherhood (even modern feminist motherhood) disrupts everything, and I have been swallowed up. This work probes a personal experience of motherhood, exploring themes of possession, covetousness and transformation. As a new mother, I began collecting images of beautiful homes and embellishing them with objects I desire and real things from my everyday life. This painting is a fantasy space for my sons and I to explore that is enviable and enticing. It is a skewed truth, my authentic possessions infiltrate the space and create disharmony. It is an ideal space punctuated by inconsistencies, revealing my struggle to create a perfect home. The paintings are composed using collage, which allows for a degree of realism or veracity in the image; it also becomes a means for collecting publicity images, transforming the space into something both enviable and temporal. The paintings are fantasy territories permeated by actuality.
