Chairs

I began painting my solitary chair series during the early days of the pandemic. Isolated from the rest of the world, I discovered a deeper symbolism in the chairs themselves, which connoted many presences in my life, both personal and historical. Sometimes they represent my family heritage, while other times they represent the general state of humanity. In their structure, they offer an opportunity to explore the need for balance amidst the chaos of unfolding events, as they tell stories about the seemingly endless changes and moods we’ve experienced over the last few years.
