Artist’s Statement

Sometimes the world is too much. Sometimes when I’m overwhelmed it feels like I’m not really there. For just a moment, my brain turns off and it’s as if I’m staring at the world, at life, from the outside in. It’s a little scary sometimes, it’s a little calming sometimes, but it goes away as quickly as it came. That feeling is what inspired this piece. It depicts two large figures drifting past a town on a calm, winter night. No one notices them and they don’t notice anyone, they’re simply on their way - once they’re gone it’ll feel like they were never even there.
