Chore Paintings
I?ve recently started making my own paper out of junk mail. After moving from New York City to the suburbs it seems fitting to elevate and repurpose something that?s such a scourge to daily life. As of late, everything seems to be a chore, including painting and sorting mail. These paintings are essentially made in order to put a checkmark next to my daily ?to-do list? along with cooking dinner and taking out the trash. Each painting has one additional color element to the paper color and the outlines of the shapes are sharpie. They are typically painted during my lunch break at work or while watching mind numbing television. They are part of the daily, soul crushing grind of being a ?high functioning? adult.
