Current Work

"How difficult it is to be simple," said Van Gogh. In 2020, the pandemic, threat of environmental change & political upheaval, spawned an urgency to simplify & quiet my surroundings. I was energized to express it visually. Change is necessary & inevitable, but chaotic. Calm follows after emotional dues are paid: shock & denial, raging, resisting, accepting, releasing. This disquiet runs through all change processes. My own 2020 evolution is reflected in these new works focusing on the earthly elements of change: earth, water, wind, & fire."  -  p'anne ally
