I painted this red abstract piece after learning I had a cousin I had never met before. It got me thinking about our blood lines and how two people made of flesh, blood and bones come together to create life. Further thoughts exploded in my brain as I came face to face with the realization that the blood in our veins can be tied to strangers living now, as well as connecting us to ancestors we've only heard tales about. Call me a sentimenal fool, but I love that.
We're never alone and will never be forgotten so long as we continue the cycle of life for then, the blood in our veins live on long after our bodies give out.
I played with the colors of our blood, flesh and bones and knew I wanted to incorporate different box shapes to signify the production of offspring. I also needed movement to extend off the canvas in all directions to symbolize the continuation of the bloodline.
