“Mother”
The Wall Collection
30” x 40”
Oil on Canvas
Of the 26 paintings in The Wall Collection, this is the most personal and emotionally charged. It’s for the song “Mother.”
This painting is a personal interpretation of the relationship similarities between my Mother and that of Pink’s.
As Pink grows more curious about the world and his individuality, his mother inadvertently adds bricks to his wall through her over-protection and need to keep him safe.
The song form is one of question and answer. The questions are from Pink as he grows up which are followed by Mother’s idiosyncratic, evasive nursery rhyme styled answers. It’s a lesson in how self discovery becomes one of self imprisonment - the first example of how my Mom and upbringing is similar to Pink’s.
Additionally, by excessively trying to keep Pink safe, his mother only further isolated him. In trying to eliminate harm, she harmed him most.
However, in the end there’s one big difference. The over protection and love disappeared for me in my adolescence which leads me to describe the painting.
The warm yellow represents the first part of my relationship with my mom. She was my safe haven, loving and present. Then it all disappeared. The stark and scary feeling of darkness is what I’m going for with the black. Mom wasn’t around, I was alone, scared and headed for real trouble.
Professional grade oils on gallery wrapped heavyweight cotton canvas. One coat of protective gloss varnish applied. Sides are painted consistent with the design of the painting - framing is optional.
