"heart of plush" is an exhibition of a series of large-scale drawings that imagines various scenes and narratives of a parallel universe inhabited by a community of naked, vulnerable, genderless creatures called fumblys. This work presents a fictional space in which violence, hostility, and aggression is softened through the formal use and manipulation of colors, textures, and portrayal of figurative gestures. My imagined utopianistic alternate universe exemplifies a hopeful and naive expectation of a potential future in which humankind can be as tender, negotiable, and forgiving as fumblys.
