For this still-life painting, I incorporated objects found on my walks in these boots into the surface of the canvas. Plastic, tree bark, fabric scraps, and more were incorporated into the underlayer of the painting, onto which the painted still-life was then superimposed. Working in this way and manipulating found material in combination with paint allows me to think of painting as a sculptural endeavor. The title is a play on words, acknowledging that the shoes depicted once existed in motion, and a reference to walking meditation, in which the mind is still even while the body is moving.
Please note: Due to differences in monitor settings, colors may appear slightly different on screen than in-person.
