Original artwork description:

"We Are All Hard and Soft" - oil on Yupo, 12 x 17. This item is sold unmounted and unframed.


​“The hard things break. The soft things bend. The stubborn ones batter themselves against all that is immovable. The flexible adapt to what is before them. Of course, we are all hard and soft, stubborn and flexible, and so we all break until we learn to bend and are battered until we accept what is before us. ― MARK NEPO, The Book of Awakening

In the search to capture emotion in art, I found myself deep into a series of bots...bots in ballgowns, bots in petticoats, bots in kimonos, bots with orb heads. The question is: can an emotionless thing evoke emotion? In fiction (i.e. MURDERBOT) the answer is yes. And in art? Well, the group of emoting bots in my studio also say yes. Sometimes being an artist is the greatest possible adventure. :)


This piece is sold unframed. It will be carefully packaged in mostly repurposed shipping materials. Customs fees and duties are the responsibility of the recipient.
