Seaport
Seaport is the area I’ve spent more time in since I moved away, as it was an industrial area when I was growing up. It’s now built out into a beautiful residential and commercial district of the city. I often meet friends there when I return to the New England area because it’s fun and vibrant.
Acrylic on Paper. Signed on the back.
Roughly 14 in X 8 in (35.5 cm X 20.3 cm)
This collection is very personal for me. It’s a reflection of feeling unmoored since my parents sold my childhood home a few years ago (I don’t blame them btw!). The concept of home is so sacred and comforting. I have been missing the attachment to the physical place. Even though I’ve lived from home since I turned 18, it was always somewhere I could go back to. This year, I’ve been struggling with uncertainty around my home given I’m renting my current place in London. The series shows abstract distant views of places familiar to me from in and around my hometown of Cohasset, Massachusetts. There is a playfulness as well as a nostalgic distance. There’s also an openness expressed through the blocks of colours that reflect the ambiguity of the future while the details in the distance show the finality of the past. For me, creating these pieces was a way to cope and process the ungrounding.
