Jealousy's Private Dominion
What you might ask is about the media and method. The core is needle turn applique and thread painting. The paper supports bring more texture to play with the eye. I finish off with various water media and office products. The title comes from my fascination with Vuillard and Bonnard. If I remember correctly, both painted interiors religiously to the point you wonder what happened in those rooms to give the artists such passion to render so romantically. This series is partially about making presumptions about people's lives. Acts of presumption lead to pomposity, jealousy, prejudice, and covetousness just to name a few. Sooner or later, wishing you were the other leads to obsession and an inferiority complex. This of course till you are let in and the world and stars shift. Presumptuous lies make for a internal silencing that lasts almost unto death. A life of closed doors and blinded windows comes as grace and your own nest never seems as comfortable as it once was. Hidden jealousies eventually take over and corrode the soul from the inside out.
