Resistance / Resilience by Megan Read
14th Annual ARC Salon (2019-2020)
This painting was created primarily as a conversation about creating and retaining vulnerability, warmth, and softness during dark times or when in a state of duress. It speaks of the yearning for and the process of expansion and connection when the impulse is to turn inward. This is the struggle, yes? And so, it is an aspirational portrait of multiple selves.
