Rave-Inspired Patterns & Prints

It’s fascinating how art can transport you back to the exact moment of creation, even after years have passed. Artists often mention this phenomenon to me, and it’s undeniably true! Sometimes, I can recall my thoughts, attire, or the music I was immersed in when I gaze at specific sections of my paintings. THE STORY BEHIND IT I’ve held onto this black-and-white pattern since university. Remarkably, I’ve managed to preserve it through numerous relocations over the past twenty years. I reflect on the time it lived in about thirty different homes. On one move, I was in a rush, possibly hitching a ride with a friend, and I left a stack of art beneath my bed. Back then, I was grappling with anxiety, which, in hindsight, made that decision quite foolish. I couldn’t open the drawer, so I left it behind during the move or broke it open. I couldn’t afford to fix the magnets, so I left everything behind! Looking back, it seems quite irrational. I’m sure I could have arranged to retrieve my belongings later.
