DISCONNECTED
DISCONNECTED
Acrylic on canvas, 20 x 10 IN.
This piece is about unplugging to plug-in or questioning what you’re plugged into in this modern life. When’s the last time you spent real time being saturated in a sunset versus taking a quick pic to post or scrolling through one glowing from a screen? So, the lines in the piece are part of the woven tapestry that is distraction from nature: the World Wide Web or phones and computers which are no longer separate and have us more tethered than any chord connected to a wall ever did… or what about television and 24 hr streaming from thousands with content to last a million lifetimes? It’s not that these things are completely bad. This piece is just asking the viewer to take a moment and look beyond the trappings that make our life “work”, so to speak and look at the sunset just on the other side… if only for a little while, which is part of the reason for the scale of DISCONNECTED, it’s just a small window into a big idea.
