Indulge
Acrylic on canvas, 2020.
Romantic relationships, much like relationships with food, can become toxic, codependent, and damaging, or transformative, healing, and some of the best parts of life. Yet at the edge of love, sometimes we find ourselves teetering out of fear when all we want is to immerse ourselves. This piece puts on display that hesitation, and the desire to indulge.
Kyra Stetler is a senior painting major at the Tyler School of Art. She is interested in figurative work, as well as pattern, and how the intersection of sculpture and painting create an immersive experience. Living with a relentless inner-monologue, she looks to communicate things we often keep to ourselves, explore why they are hidden, and show quite literally how they shape the world around us.
