‘Eight Stories to the Moon’ -
In 8 Stories to the Moon, a world where the boundaries between fear and peace, memory and healing, blur and merge. This body of work is the visual manifestation of an intimate grapple with postnatal OCD—a life lived under the shadow of intrusive thoughts, each one sharp as glass, each demanding to be soothed.
Each work is deeply layered and nuanced like the scar tissue grown over wounds. Underpaintings like scratches and abrasions. Fast, un-ruly. These slashes of paint, unforgiving and relentless seas under a boat trying to reach port. The build up of paint over the tumultuous ground, covering gritty realities in picturesque day dreams. The duality here—a tension, much like the push and pull of the moon on the tides…
