The vase is cracked and so it leaks is an ongoing series of digital and analog paintings. The imagery is a form of visual diary that began in my studio after a period of mental illness.

I was on some medication that clouded my creativity in a way I had never experienced before. I realised that the door in my mind that allowed the stream of creative thoughts was also heavily entwined with the stream of anxiety and depression. If one stream was closed all were closed. Months of numbness and colourlessness ensued.

As I began to ween off of the the medication my ideas and creativity came back in overwhelming droves. I had no where to put the thoughts now and needed to let them free. So began to document through experimental drawings, paintings and text.

Some of the paintings are explainable some are not. Maybe they resonate or maybe they don’t. I need to put them somewhere. So here they are.

Not all of them will be for sale or maybe they will I am undecided at this point.

Either way its better to put the sadness and beauty of thought here than leave it growing somewhere else.
