Of Days Magnificent and Mundane

Abstract

Of Days Magnificent and Mundane reflects childhood memories of engaging with outdoor play and with everyday objects. The title of this series references a quote from Taylor Jenkins Reid in describing the passage of time for children “...childhood is made up of days magnificent and mundane,” a perfect description of the duality represented in my work (Reid, 2021). My paintings capture the moments where children’s play, exploration, and curiosity make the mundane beautiful.
