Original artwork description:

This vase features scenes and symbols from John Steinbeck's East of Eden. I first read East of Eden when I was going through a rough patch. The book was my companion; I’d look forward to the end of the day and then I’d happily climb into bed and just spend time with the characters. I could practically see their hearts beating and bleeding on the page. It was one of the only times I remember feeling truly sad that a book ended because it meant that I had to say goodbye to the characters. I guess that means Steinbeck imbued them with respect and love rather than with cynicism, which you sometimes see. I like that it’s an earnest book.

I make paintings that explore the humor and weight of everyday life, often through strange interiors, exaggerated postures, and quietly surreal events. Figures bend unnaturally, objects hover or overtake the... Read more
