Snush

38 x 26” - Acrylic and tempera on foam board
In Private Collection

There is a kind of post-coital emptiness about a stuffed toy that has been discarded. Its limbs and posture devoid of structure. A being emptied of soul and agency. Snush represents the defeat and decay of the unexamined life. Not acceptance but acquiescence. Waiting to eat. Waiting to sleep. Waiting to be elevated.
