GOOD FOR THE SOUL (ONGOING)
Good For The Soul is an ongoing body of work that documents my inner-child healing through ‘play.’ These works emphasize the importance of play and exploration in daily practice and are inspired by art forms enjoyed during my youth, including collage, found object, crochet, and installation. I incorporate fabrics and fibers gifted to me from people in my life and repurposed canvas from older works (studies from TEAL) into paintings of collages made for the sole purpose of experiencing joy regardless of the times. These works symbolize the fun aspect of artmaking that simply feels good for the soul while I simultaneously balance heavier subject matter in my past body of work (Mind You Well), my concurrent body of work (Child’s Play), and my research-based genealogy project beginning in 2024.
