"Stitched Into You" is part of the HEART OPENER series. This abstract series of work is the first of its kind for me. My work prior to this has been very detailed realism drawings, and this urge to create shapes or floating forms and work them into these detailed, organic, almost biological expressions was truly my heart leaning into something I had never seen or felt before. It is called the HEART OPENER series because it's that moment when your chest is cracked wide open and you let all of yourself be exposed. This piece in particular is extremely energetic, agitated, and visceral, and for that reason, it is my favorite of the series. Working with charcoal on paper is incredibly tactile and freeing, my hands smoothing over or roughing up the surface become a part of the energy of each piece. "Stitched into You" celebrates the ownership of pain, heartache and letting oneself heal through expression.
