"Grave Digger- Depression", Matt Swift. Tempera on canvas. $1075
This painting speaks to mental health and disability, which is an invisible “other voice” for many people within society. Painting was created by painting a single word over & over again as a mantra to, through abstract expressionist action painting, the use the entire body, and the addition of an assistive robot vacuum cleaner, clean up the words to make the word and accompanying emotion into a statement one can face outside themself.
The titles reflect a song that inspired the work as well as the word that was used to create the composition.
