acrylic paint and a QR code to link to a minute long video animation; 24×36″

“‘Blue Sky Red Sky’ (painting and animation) was done over the 2020-2023 pandemic. It started out as a conversation with the different parts of myself (represented by the different thought balloons) and grew through those parts having conversations with the other people’s points of view (also represented by the thought balloons encircling the second character). In each hand is a symbol of fire and of water. Interaction ongoing. Results to be determined.
