Comfort , 2020
39 x 50 in (h x w)

“Comfort” is my financial stress, work stress, and family/relational stress. During my anxiety driven days, I thought deeply about comfort and what it really means. I found that comfort comes from a deficit. It means that something is wrong in the first place. Odd that comfortable is not the same. Comfortable doesn't imply that something needs to first be "wrong" or "un"comfortable. However, the root of the word, "comfort", does imply this. As my mind unraveled through this study of words and their implications to my cry for help, I wanted to depict this through imagery. A figure: seated in repose, suspended from time, place, etc. He is not supported by any structure or flooring, yet he is at ease. That is comfort personified. When there is rest despite the circumstance. The figure is accompanied by joyous colors showing the manifestation of what happens when comfort comes to those who need it. These colors signify low lows coupled with high highs with a movement and vibration around the background. These bursts of colors surround the ease of the figure.
