Jump
—2021 Series
‘Jump’
2021Hand painted originals, acrylic on various watercolour artboards & paper
Jump explores the sensation that hovers right between being grounded and floating. Like a weighty sigh of relief, this series is a whimsical homage to the small wins, cheap thrills, pleasant surprises, first steps, bold moves and scary things that seem silly after.
With suspended figures and dark cascading surfaces, Jump represents the emotional stretches that provide an anchored feeling of comfort rather than heaviness — cropping in on the briefer ups and downs in life that make you feel as human as ever.
