The Distance Between Us was painting was created live at Dancefestopia 2019. On an 8’x8’ scale, this black light reactive painting took about 40 hours to complete over three days.
This piece is near and dear to my heart. It’s about the relationship that couldn’t happen due to distance, circumstance, or a predetermined expiration date. It’s the separation of mountains and oceans. It’s that instant connection and a book you want to finish but a page you can’t turn. It’s a connection that would have you crashing in the waves of feelings and willing to climb mountains. It’s the rock on which you want to build your future. It’s about the acceptance of detachment that you develop when you know you must move on. A lot of people thought it was about love and connection, and yes it about all of that. But most of all, it’s about the fact that we always seek for this although it can’t always happen.
