Little Star
Little Star is a quiet and gentle ode to grief and recovery. A volleying of wants and desires, trumps and failures. This work was created one step, one small painting, one idea at a time. It was made slowly, but with haste. When I began developing my contributions for this two-person exhibition, I was thinking of it as a stepping stone to my forthcoming solo show Honey Eyed (October 2022) which will be a multi-part installation poking at the breakage of heterocentric pressures we often face when speaking of “love” and “forever.” But what of that now? Now, as I am writing this, we are at exactly two years of a global pandemic, almost two years from the murder of George Floyd, and newly four weeks into the war in Ukraine. It’s a lot, and I am lucky, and I am sad. Little Star was born from the mix of all of this. It is a simple visual statement, a calendar, a marking; its of love and loss, and hope.
