My approach for this show was to spend less time thinking and more time dreaming. I have always drawn inspiration for my work from mythology, literature, and the natural world, but I find that i sometimes get so caught up in collecting ideas and developing them prematurely that I never give them time to run free on the page and surprise me. So this time around, I approached each piece in the spirit of someone who zones out during lecture and begins doodling in the margins absentmindedly. I like to think each of these paintings exists in that space between waking and sleeping, and that inspiration from the visible and invisible world have managed to seep in.
