Wachusett
Wachusett Mountain calls itself “New England’s most accessible ski resort”. I distinctly remember we went once as a family and I ran into some friends (as you do in the most accessible resort in the region). As soon as I saw my friends, I promptly ditched my family (again, as you do when you’re a teenager) and spent the day on the harder slopes.
Acrylic and wax crayon on paper. Signed on the back.
12 in X 9 in (30 cm X 23 cm)
This collection is very personal for me. It’s a reflection of feeling unmoored since my parents sold my childhood home a few years ago (I don’t blame them btw!). The concept of home is so sacred and comforting. I have been missing the attachment to the physical place. Even though I’ve lived from home since I turned 18, it was always somewhere I could go back to. This year, I’ve been struggling with uncertainty around my home given I’m renting my current place in London. The series shows abstract distant views of places familiar to me from in and around my hometown of Cohasset, Massachusetts. There is a playfulness as well as a nostalgic distance. There’s also an openness expressed through the blocks of colours that reflect the ambiguity of the future while the details in the distance show the finality of the past. For me, creating these pieces was a way to cope and process the ungrounding.
