The Weight of the Moon, 2020 | oil on linen | 42 x 32 inches | INQUIRE
The mythology of childhood is of freedom from worry and responsibility.
In truth, many adults are forged from a childhood
carrying the weight of the moon.

STATEMENT OF WORK
I depict difficult and sometimes controversial subjects in my work, from suicide to environmental destruction. This exhibition is no exception as it explores fear and hatred of what we do not understand, the loss of things and people we love, and the quiet death of our environment.
