Unconscious systemic biases may guide our actions or direct us---similar to the human construct of “True North”, which holds to coordinate systems. The Earth’s “Magnetic North” moves over time according to polar shifts; flux and correction is enabled by polarity. In these paintings (Privilege, Orientation, Belief, Identity, Equity), I use compositional elements referencing nautical binnacle compasses to suggest that society must navigate not within systems, but naturally through positive relationships and change. I hope that my art represents our present day- but also imparts a dreamful glimpse of hope and faith within.
