Pandemic Paintings Deep Dive: Sat Like a Stone.

Made two paintings after the namesake of the new show, Good Air, Sat Like A Stone has always served as it's opposing companion.

Similar in size and composition, where Good Air is light, open, and hopeful, Sat Like a Stone is dark, heavy, and foreboding. Where the figures in Good Air have life and movement, the figures in Sat Like a Stone are cold and stoic. Even the landscape is dark and abstract, with just a ring of red representing the sun, or moon. 

Is this an eclipse? Armageddon? The remains following the rapture? The power in this painting, especially in comparison to good air, is in it's monolithic weight, overwhelming darkness, and bone-chilling cold. Whatever the circumstance, we can all remember a time there was nothing to do but curl up and shiver.
