The HOPE MORE series is PART of my ‘LOOK FEEL SHOW TELL: a DEEP DIVE INTO the art of the 4-letter WORD’ collection of paintings THAT celebrates the PLAY and power of 4-letter words – FROM ‘bad’ words to ‘GOOD’ words to the cultural phenomenon of knuckle tattoos.
Following a fresh thread FROM a WILD dream I had years ago, and indulging in my LOVE of WORD games, I am purposefully juxtaposing the BOLD boundary of words WITH FOUR letters WITH the SOFT unpredictability of unstretched canvas and a freehand lettering style.
My WORK reminds us to [en]counter the cynic within and beyond us, and to STAY TRUE to our earnest hearts in the midst of so MUCH suffering, locally and globally. WITH REAL props to artists who remind and SHOW us the world is burning, my WORK reminds us the world is ALSO turning.
There is art in the future. HOLD FAST.
