weird worlds
one reflects staying within our inner world and the other reflects exploring the world around us; both are important despite being opposing ideas. weird in both these paintings reflects diversity, differences, and authenticity. the works share a similar pattern that resembles an overview of earth and both share an intentionally odd selection of colours.

for both, the process primarily went one colour at a time, little by little

about the comfort we feel from staying within our weird little world
it’s okay to be selective, but i think it’s important to sometimes let people into our weird little worlds. to me, making and sharing any of my creative work has always been a way to do this in a way that feels natural.
the colour scheme for this is a bit all over the place, complex, and is kind of random (like nothing is connected or related). this is often reflective of what our internal worlds are like. we may have vast experiences throughout our lives and it can be hard to see how one thing connects to another.
the title was inspired by good will hunting and the quote “we get to choose who we let into our weird little worlds.”

about the power that’s in community
the odd selection of colours that don’t seem to ‘belong’ with the other colours… but yet. here they are, existing together… is some kinda symbolism for any diverse community.
