It's the first nervous moments first thing in the morning just before we rush towards our vices- caffeine, phones, a drink, pot or what-have-you----- It's our moment of choice. Surrounded by our dark, but warm comforts we often get weighted down by our distractions and vices that keep life running at a hum. The familiar world is OK- not great- but not bad enough to change yet.
 
It's a moment where we're emerging fresh and on a blank canvas for the day- full of life and our own wisdom. However, those dark and familiar spaces you've been in feel like home. 
 
It's a piece capturing a moment of choice. 
 
Painted in a luminous blues, greens and other neon tones against the black background the work reflects the tension between survival and clarity- the body awake before the mind is ready to follow.
 
Not refreshed- just aware.
 
This piece is done on canvas and sits with a black deep gallery frame with the hardware already installed.
