Holidays

"In Holidays, as in many of my paintings, I use self-representation. Here, I chose to represent myself as a child, as one of the parts of the self we consist of. In this series of paintings, I was thinking about how dreams deal with our past, reworking past references into the present.
The painting is inspired by a story someone once told me about their experience of motherhood. The mother described feeling as if she was about to fly off into space, completely out of control. I saw this as a reflection of how many women experience motherhood alone and unsupported, and that is why I chose to depict something floating up in the sky.
The idea for the flying element changed several times before it finally came to me as a dream about a whale. It got me thinking about how whales have a long gestation period, and how that is representative of an idea sometimes needing a long time to develop."
