I am fascinated by gesture and the stories our bodies hold. The perch tells the story of rest and waiting – but also of the potential for springing into action. In this piece I ask you to remember moments where you felt stillness and movement – what inspired you to leap or remain quiet? The materials in this piece include oil paint and carved woodblock printed on archival, acid-free transparencies and collaged into the painting. Cradled panel support is hand made by HOlD Studios in Port Orchard, WA. The edges are sealed.
