This painting was influenced by the Italian mannerists, in particular Pontormo’s painting Joseph sold to Potiphar. In Joseph sold to Potiphar the brightly dressed figures snake up and back into the painting. Joseph, in the foreground, is the favorite son.
In my version, my family soaks up the last rays of summer at the threshold of our barn. Buckets and bee traps extend the serpentine shape of their overlapping bodies.

For this painting I borrowed the central figure from Paul Gauguin’s painting “Para Api”, “Is there anything new?”. Gauguin’s painting embodies disillusionment. He had recently traveled to Tahiti but hadn’t found his mythical paradise there. My paradise in this painting is my home but with two small children needing constant attention amid a global pandemic I was longing for something else in my own right.
I started this painting in June, 2020. Since then we have disassembled parts of our kitchen and uncovered layers of wallpaper and flooring. I used some of those patters inside the cupboards and on the floor. Ghosts of what came before.
Prints
This nearly life sized painting took over six months to complete. I took inspiration from the dramatic fabrics in Poussin’s Massacre of the Innocents and from the frozen-in-time gestures of Titian. I was thinking of the three graces circling the pool: mirth, elegance and youth. I am lifting the towel, both the observer and observed, in this time of strange weather.
