Monday, Week 11: Threshold - Inside/Outside, Oil on Linen (23/03/2020)

Welcome to week 11! Today and throughout the week, we will try and redefine what inside-outside means to us. Our perception of interior-exterior is changing by the minute. The nature of what we once understood as quotidian, every-day life has transformed. But that doesn't mean that this universe is less magnificent, and that our humanity can't be maintained. Painting as contemplation is now more than ever a reminder that , while this may be our job, the real value of what we do lies in the act of painting and the reflection that accompanies it. Today I paint Dani, because even if I was outside, surrounded by people, I would paint her. She is coming out for sun, during the tiniest window of time that we have in our apartment, if weather allows for it of course. Inside there is coolness, outside there is warmth. But that very warmth that was once comforting, is now one of the few things in nature that we allow our bodies to touch. And yet, Dani and I remain hopeful, because underneath it all, there is always an opportunity to learn and a chance to come out a better human being once this is over. We're honored to be your company for this week!
