The series Okay Or, oil paints and additive textures on canvas, focuses on the interaction between hands and scenarios related to General Anxiety Disorder. While trying to ease the symptoms of General Anxiety Disorder through a focused meditation technique known as Mindful Awareness, the involvement of hands in moments of stress and depression became apparent. This series is a physical manifestation of the Mindful Awareness technique, because the tactile processes of mixing paints, texturing canvases, and putting brush to surface become meditative. To convey the detailed observance of Mindful Awareness, the scenes include either several viewpoints of the same moment or a selection of moments from a short span of time on multiple registers or canvases. Multiple panels also aid in enhancing qualities such as narrative, time, repetition, and visual rhythm.
