12 x 12 inches (30 × 30 cm)
Acrylic on Board, 2025
MN-030
I have a desire for my paintings to be about two things interacting with each other. That is the essence of relationship. You might say that my paintings are all about relationships. This one certainly is.
Maintaining relationships ranks high in my personal values. I cannot see myself but in relation to another. I may as well be invisible without my relationships.
The beauty of relationship is the differences between those relating. Just like colors in a painting are impacted by the colors next to them, so am I impacted by those in proximity to me.
Parts of me look bigger or smaller, more vibrant or muted, depending on the one I’m next to. I get to celebrate different parts of myself in each new relationship I make.
In this painting, Blue Spark of Life, the warm spark may draw you in, but the relationship is about the yellow sticks in relation to the blue sticks. The attraction and aversion of how they relate mimics the relationship of friends and lovers who are so close, but still so far.
