"Bending Back" is an evolution of an artwork that was originally conceived during the summer of 2021 as the basis for a tracklist artwork of a friend’s album.
Since I elected to apply the text artwork digitally then, the painting itself has always felt somewhat incomplete to me. After oscillating between storage and my home studio walls over the past few years, I’ve long felt pulled towards reapproaching this artwork in some capacity.
During January 2024, I finally had to act on this inclination - as an artist, oftentimes I feel like we have no choice but to make art. This was one of those instances where the universal energy and my personal antenna became synchronized, resulting in this reinvented artwork.
I've often had desires to revisit my previous artworks, and am becoming more open to channeling this energy that I’m receiving. I'm so glad that I followed my instincts this time, which led me on a rewarding journey filled with moments of reinvigoration and fun!
