Featherbrained
The term “featherbrained,” meaning foolish or scatterbrained, becomes a deliberate framework for a calculated façade of color and shape, where written text embedded into the surface allows fragments of memory to be released, altered, or laid to rest within the painting. The collection emphasizes playfulness as a mode of survival, urging a return to an inner child that is both wounded and protected, held within a world of color, frivolity, and form.
