Mending, In Practice Collection
Mending, In Practice is a body of work exploring healing as an ongoing experience rather than a single completed event.
These paintings were created during a personal season of healing — through winter, medical waiting rooms, and quiet days of recalibration. Many began as older works, layered over rather than discarded. Some were scraped back. Others were rebuilt. None were erased. The texture holds history.
This collection does not present healing as tidy or triumphant. Instead, it reflects the lived reality of mending — layered, non-linear, at times impatient, at times buoyant. Repair here is not about returning to who we were, but about integrating what we’ve carried.
Each piece holds a different emotional register: resilience, uncertainty, regulation, play, depth, thaw, disturbance, vitality. Together, they create an atmosphere — one that acknowledges that healing is not spectacle, but practice.
These works are meant to be lived with. To shift with light. To reveal their layers slowly over time.
