wanderlust CONTINUES
In December 2021, I left the place I called home for more than six years. With that move came a lot of change, some that was unsettling. Everything felt so different; in good ways and some not-so-good ways.
In January, I started unpacking my studio, tired from the laborious task of moving house. By the end of the month, I finally was ready to begin painting again. I thought it would be difficult to pick up the paintbrush and create again in this new, unfamiliar space. What surprised me was not only how easy it was but also how much I needed it to feel like my whole self again.
While there were things that felt different, there were also things that felt the same; Like the familiar weight of a paintbrush in my hands, the colours mixing on my palette, or the little notes I scribbled in my journals. I often reflected on when I was creating The Wanderlust Collection. There was so much left unsaid.
I kept thinking,
What if the story wasn’t over?
A new collection started forming in the studio.
My hands started working in old familiar ways,
my inspiration drawn to the stories left untold.
What I thought had been the end of my journey in creating The Wanderlust Collection, really only was the beginning of a new chapter; A series of work that would ground me in the familiar during a time I was feeling very unfamiliar. Through that desire and willingness for my inspiration to guide me,
Wanderlust II was created.
