And You Melt Down When
You Are Next to Me:

How lucky we are to be loved by other human beings. And equally so are we to have the capacity to love them. Very few things in life compare to the overwhelming energy, presence and emotional power experienced by two people immersed in mutual affection, acceptance, togetherness, discovery and admiration of each other’s basic need to love.

This painting is an abstract representation of manifested, tangible desire to be in the company, both physical and spiritual, of another. I’d like to think that I have captured or frozen a moment when two people are, have been, and will continue to be engaged in a celebration of mutual Love. The colors merge seamlessly, one into the other, as a symbolic expression of unity and togetherness. I created the texture by carving on the surface, 2-way connecting lines that converge, manifest and disperse again to and from infinity, of which we all are part. I am also interested here in exploring, through visual inquiry, the multiple ways in which energy, spiritual, emotional and/or physical, is constantly in motion and how it manifests through the power of Love.
