About "Tenderbeing" Series: Tenderbeing uses nature as a metaphor for what it means to be human. Drawn from moments in the artist's life, each work in this series is a kind of emotional portrait, painted in watercolour on handmade cotton paper.
Short poems accompany each work, acting as entryways into the emotional terrain of the image and offering a moment of reflection for the viewer. Every piece is monochrome, focused, and includes a cutout: a deliberate absence, a shape that once held something, or where meaning lives subtly. The forms are close and sometimes even cropped - like a memory recalled not as a scene, but as a feeling. Plants became a way to speak about being a human - without defending, justifying or explaining. They bend, break, heal, regrow. So do we.
About "Tenderbeing" Artwork: Tenderbeing captures the moment just before becoming - tender, trembling, and almost seen. The snowdrop, one of the first to bloom, bends towards the ground as if unsure of its own arrival. Painted in cool blueish green, the work holds the feeling of early growth, not yet confident, but fully alive.
