About the Item
"Visitation" combines digital print making with oil painting to create a dizzying display. This particular work is from the 2022 series "Romantic Overgrowth." Characteristic of the series and Furness's wider practice this particular series is highly intricate and begs for an intimate viewing experience.
Decorative, dense tangles of weeds and overgrowth serve as metaphors for personal habits and behaviors we’d like to eliminate. Like garden weeds, these behaviors can be invasive, even if we attempt to prune them. This cycle is represented by the paintings’ all-over, patterned surfaces which make it difficult to tease out which botanicals (or habits) are friend or foe. Who is to judge what is considered a weed or not? Tiny, fairy-like figures play out across the dense thickets to suggest narratives questioning human impulses and how we define identity, gender, animalistic behavior, sexuality, and fantasy.
