Artist Statement:
My piece is titled “Constant Remembrance” I learned the concept of constant remembrance at an ashram. The idea is to bring your spiritual awareness into everything you do and that is the attitude I had while creating this piece. I began the work considering unity and creating safe spaces where this can be achieved. I did not want the painting to be about safe spaces, I wanted it to be a safe space with calm energy. The imagery came out of considering the ways we are all connected and where the focus of our efforts needs to be right now. I make a safe space for you by offering a slow moment outside of time and expectations, for thoughtful contemplation.
The imagery references the CO2 cycle, from our fear of the virus and George Floyd’s last words that have become a rallying cry, we are connected by breath. I reference the water cycle, we are connected by water, and we are water and I have the moment of evaporation purple. Visual purple is a chemical reaction in our eyes that lets us see in the dark. There is an ancient Egyptian ouroboros symbol of renewal and “the All is One.” The center, a closed eye honoring the injustice we know is going on all of the time and also a prayer for a calming moment. We close our eyes to really feel something and to remember. The iris of the closed eye is made of eight eyes from victims of police violence. George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Philando Castile, Rekia Boyd, Deborah Danner, Breonna Taylor, Tamir Rice, and Dana Fletcher. The green circle is for green being the last color we see when the light fades and I was considering the moments in between blindness and sight. The black circle is for the melanin in all of our retinas that effects how and what we are able to see. The white circle is for the blind spot we all have where information goes through our optical nerve to the brain for processing. Justice should be blind also. The dot was a last-minute thought. You will see a dot in a circle in a lot of Jahni Moore’s recent artwork, it is an ancient symbol for god, and I wanted to bring him and that into this work
