A series of 10-12 surreal oil and acrylic paintings, with bright and day glow colors adorned with handcrafted 3D frames, accompanied by spiritual garden statue like sculptures.
The series illustrates Lindsay’s inner and outer journey throughout the isolation of the pandemic. Beginning pre-pandemic blissfully dancing amongst a community of strangers in Brooklyn, New York. The rhythm of life abruptly shifted to introspection as isolation took hold, prompting changes in scenery and connections. Like many, she began working remotely and all human interactions were merely pixels on a screen. She used mindfulness and art as ways connect but the burden of a lack of a local community, nature, and her five senses was real. Her pets and the strange, majestic homes in her new locale of Weehawken, New Jersey, became metaphorical subjects for her work. A world emerged where house-cats and plants reign supreme and bewildered frogs contemplate why humans are spending so my time staring at screens.
During endless walks she was influenced by the little spirit guides found on people’s front yards like garden nomes, lions and buddhas. Lion sculptures influenced the “Cyber Security Cat” painting which illustrates a cat as security guard protecting the party from Twitter trolls with a mouse trying to get away. Or another series of paintings based her cat falling off the roof and almost dying. Her cats became central as she became very in tune with them. The culmination in the cat jumping off the roof as the last painting shows how far she’s come from dancing with other humans to seeing cats as all encompassing.
