“This is No.7 Lucky. In the sense of where this work is taking the manta rays, the stars are beginning to come away from their body and fly amongst each other - a symbol of just breaking free of some of that chained up heavy experience. It shows that there’s a part of grief worth absolutely cherishing. Worth really leaning into. It’s this part you can’t see coming. The bit where you remember all the good stuff for just a moment and forget all of the bad stuff. Wild, playful and a little silly. Reminiscent of a time when pure discovery was happening as a kid.
Losing a parent is traumatic to the point where you question everything you thought you knew. This painting was about dropping the questions, even for a moment, and going for a swim in deluded bliss in beautiful, fun memories. Whilst making this piece I felt that my spirit ran free a little, lost in a literal dance for the most part.
I was listening to ‘She’s like a rainbow’ by The Rolling Stones while I made every minute of it. It’s a song my dad used to say reminded him of me. I love this song. I love the primary school feeling that the music gives. I love the unapologetic leaning into fabulous joy. I really wanted to reflect how special and sparky and crazy and silly my dad could be. It also reminded me how we could be together, in that state. The end of the song, where it gets all wonky, is a real reflection in this work. The parts that are still wonderful, even though completely imperfect.
The type of blue I’ve used is extremely strong in colour; a very pure pigment. Fully saturated, charged. I think my dad had ADHD and suffered cPTSD. He was extremely gifted and so much fun. He had the side to him that was electric with joy. Unfortunately, when he was sad or angry, he was also electric. I see a lot of similarities within us and I think this image captures what we had in common, and some of the parts we don’t. Either way it’s a beautiful dance, I managed to capture and suspend.”
