The Ooze

1 of 5 stages of grief the Ooze represents the depression I expeirenced while losing my father and grandfather. The depression would feel sticky like I could never fully get it to go away it would seep in at the worst time. It would take days to leave me.

Let Go

I've always struggled with anger. It was the first thing I felt when they were gone: an overwhelming fury. I was consumed by it. I was angry at the world for taking my grandpa when I needed him the most, angry that it robbed me of more time with my father, who passed away ten years later. I threw myself into arguments and fights, using them as an outlet for all the pain I didn’t know how else to express. Putting my anger to canvas was both one of the easiest and most satisfying processes I have done.

Jazz Cabbage

This is from the Music Art Collection.  I tuned into a radio station that played all Japanese 70's Jazz. It has become one of my favorite genres of music.
