‘Inhale, Exhale’ drops as a print Thurs Nov 25th, 12PM (PT) on my store!
I once asked my friend, “how would you describe my work?” And she responded with “your work is like…. inhale, exhale, yknow?” It was a strange and vague response, but I kinda understood what she meant, and it made me happy. That conversation planted a seed in my mind that one day came into fruition as this very painting.
To this day, this painting still holds such a dear place in my heart. It remains one of my most proudest and memorable pieces to me personally. I think it encapsulated the message, theme and story of my ‘Breathe’ exhibition, but more importantly, it captured everything I’d wanted my work to look and feel like, I felt it was a huge milestone for me! I was proud of how it told a story, how it captured a fleeting moment, how it portrayed a feeling and ultimately; how it captured ‘inhale, exhale’.

Gilding & the making of Gold Leaf by Richard H. Barnes
Here is a tiny look into the world of gold leaf in the mid 1900’s. It focuses in particular on the process of gilding the pages of books, with the whole process carefully explained. Maybe not as flashy as you would expect for a book about gold leaf, but it’s still very interesting and educational!
