The heart of this piece is about the innocence and fearlessness we are all born with. The boy is surrounded by danger. A rabies riddled fox, an iguana armed with antlers, and a spider ready to devour him yet somehow, he stays calm. Instead of panicking, he uses his imagination and turns the black widow’s web into a swing.
That idea is what inspired my “Swing of Things” series. When life becomes overwhelming, sometimes creativity can give us a place to escape, even if it is only for a few minutes or a couple of hours. Our hobbies can help quiet the fear and anxiety caused by everything happening around us. For me, that escape has always been art. I use creativity to drown out my fears and find a little peace in the middle of the chaos.
