Pressure
by Renee Kuharchuk
$2,700
Pressure is an acrylic painting layered with graphite and it is a personification of what anxiety feels like. The constriction in the chest that tightens your muscles and steals your breath. This painting is loose and gestural to enhance that motion, the movement of the brushwork embodies the real movement in the act. We’ve all felt anxiety. What does it feel like for you? When are you anxious? What has made you anxious in the past? This work is about illustrating the feeling I get when I am overcome with my anxious thoughts. I would be my hope to display these thoughts using sound alongside this work.
