“Slug Room” Sliding scale $350-450

$350.00 - $450.00

I have been analyzing and observing places, rooms and corners of existence, this being one of them. The evening light making its way down the bed covers, the bedside lamp casting a glow that fills the air, a lonely cup left forgotten. However, the back of the room, the wall, the plants set on the shelves are painted as if they were front and center— This is an inverted painting. An inverted painting where the background, a usually blurry undistinguished area is now painted to be unusually bright and center. Thick paint is layered in this area, being pulled forward not only through its vibrancy but also with its physicality: its thick texture placed above the rest. Since it’s inverted, an other-wordly slug has creeped from the side of the wall, besides the bed. A place where if your feet poke out under the covers at night the cold shivers of nighttime monsters might appear. However, if we befriend and adopt them they might just blend into our space and become our benevolent bedside friend that waters our plants.
