graceless grief
Exhibited at Durham Art Guild in North Carolina February-April 2022.
This is a piece that, much like my own grieving process around a lot of events lately started months ago with just outlining colors and lines, but went stagnant for a long time because I didn’t know what to do with it.
I was ashamed for not knowing what to do. Grief is funny in that way — it shows up unexpectedly, looks differently for everyone, and isn’t a linear process at all. The loss of stability, loss of a friendship or a loved one can break you apart and expose all the undesirable, “ugly” parts of yourself that you now have to deal with in full color. I finally had the clarity to finish it, but not without recognizing that grief has a hold on me still about a lot of different things… and now, I guess, I’m fine with that.
