Half Full, 2020
Experimental screen print on silk

Half full is a pure black and white print. I love this print so much, its very difficult to achieve a stark pure black and white print which is why this one is so unique and different for me.
It’s called half full because in simple black and white terms of how to look at things, we all know the saying, is the cup half full or half empty?
For me I like to see it as half full always, there’s always a lesson even if we cannot see it imminently. This piece and the forms are also related to movement and impermanence so it is also connected to the idea of if impermanence is half full or half empty. Again the idea will always be half full because there is always a potentiality in it somewhere even if our minds cannot comprehend it in the moment.
Our minds sometimes convince us that things are either black or white, like its an option to chose. But it’s not simple black or white it is black with white and white with black. It’s symbiotic, both are present at all times so you can find everything in all that you do and in everything that occurs.
