This piece is based on the layout of my own bedroom, and aims to emulate the feeling of feeling uneasy or disconnected in a familiar place.
The title ‘Autopsy’ refers to the feeling of being cut into and re-arranged; Individual figurative parts are detached across the scene in a similar way. Organic forms emerge as the painting juts outwards, bleeding into the surrounding space, as well as its neighbouring parts – a representation of how our presence in a space is dictated by the mind and body.
This was a very challenging piece. I found it difficult to make the painting cohesive enough, so that each piece would connect and works together, but would also stand out as individual pieces in their own right. I think this struggle lends itself to the disconnected feeling embodied by this piece.
