NOTES ON WAVZ :: Release Date October 6th @ Urban Art Gallery

The story of
WAVZ It all starts with water.. |
|
Each drop of water contains all the properties of the ocean.
As you get up close with these water textures, you begin to see the same patterns that are reflected on the surface of the Earth.

Even in the smallest moments,
water makes waves..

and rivers..

Every brush stroke is a completely unique collection of water marks.
Deep pools of pigment, casually mingle with whimsical, suggestions of color.

Each drop conveys movement and interacts with the temperature, the tilt of the page, the directness of sunlight, absorbency of the paper, pace of stroke.. Each moment with watercolors is dynamic, changing and different from every other mark. Self contained as a single drop, but beautiful when they dance together.

Like people,
drops are beautiful all on their own.
But together,
they create waves of change.

I move these unique color swatches around larger pieces to 'test' out color choices before painting on large pieces. I play with different arrangements, movements and colors. This helps transition my sketches to larger works. (I love how the swatches preserve the energy and texture of each brush stroke).

Freedom isn't always played at one volume,
or declared in big moments,
or struck with profound realizations,
and dramatic events.
Freedom isn't always loud.
- It can,
definitely has,
and will continue to be as loud as we need it to-
But it is in the small,
quiet
moments
where freedom,
most loudly,
sings.

We have a way of celebrating.
With way too much food,
packed houses and games.
We have way of celebrating,
of always understanding the irony and humor,
when there's no other way to slice it.
We have a way of hearing,
all kind of comments about our hair,
when you jokingly call it "fluffy",
when you compare it to how you look when you first wake up,
when you make any. comment. about it at all.

Nature has a way of celebrating,
despite the exploitation and oppression that society puts it through,
from literally cementing over it,
to filling it with toxins.
Nature has a way of celebrating,
pouring water over cliffs,
sliding deep into pools to tickle the earth.
Nature has a way of growing,
always growing,
Nature has a way of finding sunlight at all costs.

We have a way of celebrating,
despite the exploitation and oppression that society puts us through,
from excluding our names from history,
to pumping our foods with additives.
We
have a way of sharing,
even when there's "nothing" there to share.

We have a way of hearing what is actually said.
And we have a way of celebrating.
We have a way of seeing what is actually being done.
And we have a way of celebrating.
We have a way of feeling what is actually being learned.

We have
so many ways
of celebrating.
