Our World, Our Home is a new painting (36 in x 36in ) that will be in a group show at Altered Esthetics in NE Minneapolis
About the painting: I submitted "Our World, Our Home" to this particular show, because I created this painting with this show in mind. In my paintings, I usually depict themes and patterns found in nature. So, while sketching and gathering reference materials on different aspects of "home" I decided to take the approach of home = habitat, or home, as it relates to a residence for many species. That without the buildings and structures that we might think as home, ultimately the elements: sky, water and earth, is the habitat for all. "Our World, Our Home" symbolizes a peaceful utopian nature, with elements in their home, our habitat.
About the Show:"HOME"
Whether it is a place we came from, a place we dream about, or a settling destination; artists react to immigration, homelessness, and what it means to have a sense of place in the world.
