48”x48” Oil on canvas

2020

This large-scale oil painting is a part of Good Bones, a series which seeks to see and appreciate the overlooked. This particular piece depicts the parietal bone, which makes up the very top of the skull. Simple and stoic, it steadfastly protects the very zenith of our bodies.

ABOUT “GOOD BONES”
Using inspiration from both the form and function of human anatomy, the Good Bones series explores the profound beauty and intricate stories concealed within us. With this series, I strive to showcase the benefits of probing beneath the surface. While each individual bone has its own captivating narrative, taken as a whole, they create an everlasting symbol for the deepest, most fundamental part of a thing. They serve as a reminder to strip away the extraneous fluff when interacting with the world. Before we react, before we judge, and before we hate, take the time to recognize and appreciate the good bones beneath.
