In Transit

In Transit is exploring the relationship of bringing a physical body to my paintings and illustrations. Within both, you can see they are inspired by movement, body forms, emotions, and what it means to reclaim our natural instincts as human beings. I started this project in New York City in the midst of the pandemic back in 2021. With the model Kira Colney for about a week, we discussed pain, joy, fear, happiness, sadness and anger and their connection with body movement. Then, we began what would extend for four days of lockdown in Brooklyn. Here we got to experience self preservation, whilst still bringing the pen to warm skin instead of paper.
