Mural 1
Amalgalimb
Amalgalimb was an unfinished mural that I started crafting in high school. I was obsessed with the human body and aspects attached to femininity and masculinity. I basically felt that anytime I thought about the concept of gender and sexuality I would find myself gravitating back to work on this piece. Growing up with such a limited understanding of such topics this piece was my breaking into really challenging ideas that I had grown up in. In a beautiful way I did actually end up being more progressed in this piece but the photos of it are lost in time. Maybe I’ll find them and maybe I won’t but the remnants of what I have honestly is kind of beautiful.
Mural #2
Apt. 304_
Apt. 304_ is a piece that I did on the wall in my room in my apartment. I would work on it during nights when my mind was racing, and I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t like the idea of sitting around and doing nothing while I couldn’t sleep and found that the constant strokes of paint would soothe me enough to fall asleep. Whatever my brain would grapple onto I would paint on the wall. Sometimes I would spend hours painting to fall asleep and other times it would be like 5 minutes.
