Nena Howell: Light In Flight
鈥淟ight in Flight鈥� is a group of contemporary figurative oil paintings I created over the last two years. This series is a celebration of spirit, laughter, and play. When I work, I鈥檓 flooded with feelings of wellness, a lightness I feel whenever I鈥檓 around my canvas and oils. It鈥檚 my hope you, too, feel this sense of lightness when viewing this series.
As I work with each piece, I鈥檓 looking for feelings of abundance, movement, and respect 鈥� that respect I feel around the themes of connection to humanity, nature, and stewardship.
You鈥檒l find Tlingit ovoids, trigons and hashmarks in my work. For this series I was drawn to coppers- colors of cedars and grasses intermixed with loose figurative movement lines and solid abstract Tlingit forms and figures. These colors and forms can be found in our indigenous Tlingit peoples clothing, regalia and household carvings. To me, these elements serve and share themes of ancestral spirit, wellness, respect and stewardship.
Overall, this series invites the viewer to leave the hustle and bustle of the day behind and, even for one moment, find that inner child lightness that lifts the feelings of abundance and wellness inside you.
