"Resetting The Pace" invites viewers to explore the intricate joys and trappings of domestic life through a lens that melds painting, digital art, and mixed media installation. This exhibition serves as a vivid exploration of consumption habits and the pursuit of an elastic mind, revealing how our ambitions often outpace our resources.

 

At its heart, the show features large-scale paintings that function as preliminary world-building tools. These maximalist ecosystems reference both expansive natural landscapes and intimate settings like patios and backyards. They reflect the complexities of long-term relationships, the nuances of loneliness, and the often unspoken tensions between our dreams and our realities.

Smaller oil paintings and digital works deepen these narratives, offering snapshots of memory, desire, and imagined alternatives. They bask in wonder of everyday life, transforming feelings of stagnation and overwhelm into reflections on friendship and mentorship, while playfully engaging with unfinished projects and the clutter of consumption.

 

"Visions in Stasis: A Domestic Palette" anchors the exhibition with a mixed media installation that blends home improvement materials, flocking, and oak veneer marquetry. Evoking a pier and beam foundation in disrepair, the structure serves as a canvas for abandoned projects and unfulfilled aspirations. Nestled between the beams, translucent digital works hover over a retroreflective surface, invoking the illusion of a floating Pinterest Board. This piece embodies the tension between our ambitions and the constraints of time and resources, inviting viewers to contemplate our collective yearning for transformation and growth and the reality within domestic life.​
