Where the Heart Is
Looking at the essence of home, the way it infiltrates our being and informs our identity, this body of work explores our connections to what we call home. These pieces are imagined, the places recalled as I close my eyes and look back to the places I have lived.
These paintings were layered slowly, using large brushes to gently add the colours akin to the way each place we experience adds to our personal stories.
These paintings are the roads to my roots, the skies that carried my dreams. This series wanders out to the places that feel like home, looking at the emotional connection to a place, the comfort in knowing it is there. I wanted to find a way to express all the nuances of a day remembered, a lifetime of being, to experience each place as I recall it and to lean into the idea that home is no one place, rather home is where the heart is.
