“3rd Attempt at Calling DOH For my Food Stamps Interview”, is a scene based off of a real moment in my life where I was doing just what the title describes. My baby is running around flinging toys everywhere, my cat is pissed, and the most annoying tune is playing as we wait and wait and wait for someone to pick up. My husband and I are painted with the inspiration of Korean traditional wooden masks. These masks were used by the poor in old Korea to relieve their grievances of their oppression from the rich in a legal way as it’s under the act of performance. I wanted us to also look large and like deities as I believe we all possess the divine and evil within us. In real life when this scene happened, I bursted out laughing at one point because it’s better to laugh at the situation then get mad as it’s all about perspective. Other relatives are a part of the room as well as if they are watching over me and we are all connected.

After a full night of feeding the baby, rolling over from one boob to the other, the sunlight starts to creep in as we stir awake and get our morning cuddles in; Mommy, Daddy and Baby. Baby's hands pinching my chest while mommy cradles him, daddy moves his hands to grab baby and holds my arm instead, all of our limbs entangled and twisting in an important love language for baby: touch.
Divine Suspension is my first series created postpartum which includes over 20 new paintings. With an emphasis on the process of painting in intervals as my baby is playing or napping while I paint and then calls for me as he needs, the painting is left in suspension and purposefully left in place on the painting. The parental roles of the divinemasculine and divine feminine are presented in the works which are also embedded in the process as I invite the interruption to my painting flow as a practice in the divine and unconditional love rather than a hindrance. The Divine Suspensionseries is essentially an amalgamation about everything I love right now: My family, toys, my jealous cat Cry Baby, butts, boobies and more.
