MOONSIDE
“Underrepresented” at The LA Art Box, Los Angeles, 2022
Venture into Moonside, a skewed alternate dimension where we take a close look into the friendships of a dreamlike Los Angeles. Moonside is an alternate dimension that exists from the RPG game Earthbound or Mother 2. When entering this dimension, the environment shifts into a neon, two-dimensional world. Space itself transforms into eternal darkness and neon lines glisten and radiate to represent the surrounding environments and atmosphere. The dimension is convoluted, out of place, but a significant part of the protagonist's journey. John honors the friendships and moments he shared with his friends before the pandemic, remembering the cultivation of camaraderie. The work is drawn to the isolate feeling of sheltering in place and refraining from our normal human interactions during the peak of the pandemic.
40 x 40 inches individually, each piece's dimension is skewed and unique.
Watercolor ground, watercolor crayon and pencil, gloss medium with crystal glitter on paper with grommets
