No One Is Coming to Save You, 30×40, 2024
"No One is Coming to Save You" organizes itself around a tension between accumulation and decision. Warm peach and sand hold the upper field, pink loops through the mid-ground, yellow builds in the lower left, and teal and green surface from beneath earlier layers. The cobalt blue arrived last and differently. Where every other colour was found through the turning process, the cobalt was worked deliberately, expanding into a vertical form deepened by black as it grew. It is the most resolved mark on the canvas, a fixed point of certainty against a field of accumulated discovery. The horizontal stroke crossing it at the top lends an almost architectural presence. The title and the formal argument mirror each other precisely: everything else was discovered. The cobalt was decided.
From the Wild collection, 2024.
From the artist's journal:
"Creating the life of my dreams is an inside job because I am the sole inhabitant of my life. I am the only person present for all that I have experienced and felt and lost and love. No one else knows what I need to be saved from."
