This painting involves the twisted family dynamics of patriarchal demands, matriarchal acquiesence, maudlin defiance, martyred sacrificial attachments, isolation, children trying to learn how to move within it, get away from it, get high and forget about it, laugh so you don’t cry, growing old enough to recognize the conflict source. It took a sorcerer to get there and reveal to me that dysfunctional family is a redundancy.
