ON BALANCE

It was only much later that I understood how small and asymmetrical the world had become during those pandemic years - - That invisible thread had created an uneven cocoon that had become very still. Our lives, eventually, opened up but to unimaginable consequences. Many of the works in this exhibition, originally made during the pandemic, were created with ink on paper. I wanted to revisit these simple drawings but this time with paint and thread on canvas - - Stitching and stringing time with a line, trying to understand.

Bal·ance /ˈbaləns/ 1. An even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady. E·qui·lib·ri·um/ˌēkwəˈlibrēəm,ˌekwəˈlibrēəm/ noun 1. A state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.
