During this time of constant change and fear of the unknown, I find myself looking more and more inward to make sense of the world. One lens, which I have always used to interpret my own inner motivations, is that of my astrological sign: Gemini. The idea of my inner twins has just felt right to explain the duality of thought and emotion I experience. The series uses a very literal, kaleidoscope-type mirroring to depict the duality, but each will also hint at my inner state. I am intrigued by painting double self-portraits and by the riot of color and design created by the mirroring. For me, this simple technique allows for a step away from reality and towards an interior vision; it leaves space for questions.
