Jocelyn Ulevicus

I use watercolor to explore and find meaning in the world around me. Seed and Harvest is a meditation on hope; on creating reality through mindful and sometimes mindless repetition, articulating Emerson's quote, “We become what we think about all day long.” Seeds (or ideas/thoughts/emotions) are falling to the ground, resulting in the splendor of harvest, a new chapter in the lifecycle. I chose vibrant and often opposing colors to express the dynamism of the human experience, and indeed, as of late, given the intersection of the COVID pandemic and the current anti-racist movement. Seed and Harvest asks the viewer to embrace change while yielding to the unknown.
