My gosh Kristen, this series is so beautiful and I so wish I could see it in person! It really feels like a great encapsulation of what you share in this newsletter and how your work is evolving. Always in awe of and inspired by your art 💛
I so resonate with what you’re saying about artifacts, as a reminder, remembrance of a sacred moment or relationship. I’ve been making large paintings of smaller objects which have this kind of significance for me…some are valuable, others are common, but, as you referenced, each one is significant. Thanks for giving me language to describe why this has been important to me!
This was a beautiful reflection on making meaning from the everyday and honouring even those things that could be considered random or forgettable. A pedestal for the ordinary. What lovely food for thought! I also appreciated the way you walked us through your process. Did this process emerge as a realisation retrospectively or did you consciously decide on this before setting off on the project? In any case, thank you for a thoughtful and generous essay.
