After having a bit of a creative breakdown in the last few months, I have realised that not doing art makes me feel dried up and unfulfilled, depressed even. Art for me is a way of releasing energy and emotion, yet to do that it needs space and time to develop. There have been some kind friends out there giving me the courage and support to keep going; you've just got to stay close to those people whenever you can.
This is one of my paintings from a while ago now. It came from my first experimentation with inks, letting them bleed into one another to get some lovely textures. Reflecting now on what I think it's about, I like the idea that the figures are staring up at the same source, an acknowledgement of being together in the world.
beautiful painting, steven!! :)
