Living in the flow, no matter what the task or what your'e experiencing at any given moment. I took the challenge of painting an homeless camp abstractly in a brighter light. It is easy to paint or depict sexuality, fear, anger or sorrow, because these are strong human emotions that folks often relate. My thoughts were why are people only seeing these homeless camps in frames of sorrow, disgust etc. When actually this is these folks home and community and they are realistically more community than suburban America or other place where folks live near each other. It is likely they are more community because they need each other's help more often. But that is besides the point as is the fact that many are experiencing drug additions or other mental illnesses. Their homeless camp on the forefront is not much different than how the earlier humans lived together and some still today in places like Sudan. The idea that they don't experience happiness, kindness and only experiencing dirtyness, sorrow, etc. is just wrong. My idea is to maybe cause folks to see their camps (their home) in a different light. Seeing the brighter light of things is so important to staying in the flow, whether you are modeling or whatever it is you are involved in the moment.
Thank you for your thoughts. You are very on point. It's a matter of perspective. And I would love to see that painting of yours :) if you would like to share.
