i couldnt pick one because i cant look at anything ive made and not see the failures in either execution or symbolism BUT these all come from an intense place in my heart and i am proud of them! in particular the modern communion still life i still think is one of the best ideas i’ve ever had but my high school acrylic execution was weak… in comparison to the oil still life in the corner thats very pretty but very meaningless!

for overall artists, i really enjoy the body of work by photographer renée cox. i love her takes on representation and her unapologetic nature. i wasn’t much of a photography girl before her, but i get it now. i also really enjoy the paintings of oda iselin sønderland and the mood she’s able to capture with them. and i can’t forget the works of aya takano! i love the world she’s crafted and the figures that come out of it. she reminds me that i’m a woman but also still a girl if that makes sense.
for favorite contemporary works of art in general, that’s even harder as i have so many! for now, i’ll choose kiki smith’s 1996 piece “constellation” (pictured here). but i could go on forever.
