Borrowed Time, our first show in the house. Viewings by appointment through the end of October (link in bio), or DM us for the price list.
“When I became pregnant, I stopped painting.” Kita stopped for a physical reason: her process meant laying the canvas flat on the floor, and her changing body could no longer work that way. When she came back to painting, motherhood had changed how she worked. It had to be faster and more immediate, each painting finished before the next responsibility called.
That is where the title comes from. Every hour in the studio is borrowed from somewhere else: from her daughter, from family, from work that might pay more. She takes those hours anyway. She keeps returning to the same photographs from 2020, finding a new route through them each time. She never throws a painting away; she keeps working until the first mark she made has found its place.
Thirty works in oil bar on paper, made with urgency and with patience, hung in rooms built for conversation and creativity. Intimate, personal, and close to home in every sense. The first of what we hope will be many more art shows in the house.
A big thank you to everyone who worked on this with us:ward
