Undressing
Oil on Canvas, 3x5.5', 2022
Exploring what it means to be, or become, undressed through painting the action.
From being undressed as a swaddled child to learning to finally get your shirt over your head justttt right without tangling your arms, to getting undressed in moments of intimacy: we undress ourselves every day.
Is undressing an act of weakness? An assertion of power? Or a moment of objectivity? How does becoming undressed change if it is of your own doing or somebody else's –– and can there also be power in that? Is there agency in removing one's clothes when alone, or only when in the presence of a partner? At what age does being undressed change? Does situationally take precedence to the moment's interpretation or does one's past experiences and associations?
