Overview
Soft Moves series traces a process of falling into a deep self-love, following a long-awaited diagnosis and treatment of Michelle’s chronic illness. With her newfound energy she is propelled into undoing decades of repression and embracing the beauty of queer identity and disability pride. It offers a quiet sensuality as gentle waterfalls glide over a warm soft formed landscape. The brush traces curves that switch back on themselves again and again. They act as an embrace to authenticity and honouring ourselves with love. These works offer a calmness that comes with knowing oneself.
