Holding On & Letting Go
From The Interstice Collection by Payton James—Inspired by the tension between what was and what lies ahead, this collection reveals the beauty not just in what is seen, but in the gaps. Through layered textures and fragmented forms, it explores how what is left behind shapes what emerges, and how unraveling the past creates space for growth and clarity.
Two connected paintings painted on unstretched canvas, then cut into strips and alternated in a rhythmic pattern. The piece embodies the tension between looking ahead to the future while still holding on to the past. A visual representation of the healing process, where beauty exists in the space between. The piece can be hung in various configurations, either straight or rhythmically placed, with some strips elevated to create dynamic visual movement. Acrylic on canvas.
