Claiming the Floor

$400.00

"Claiming the Floor" is a mixed media painting featured in the Finding Joy in Chaos collection. It is a piece about taking up space, unapologetically showing up, and owning your presence. “ This piece emerged from a deep need to reclaim my voice—to move freely through expression without judgment or the illusion of limitation. I allowed raw, intuitive expression to guide me, and in that surrender, I uncovered something honest, powerful, and deeply aligned with my truth’.
Layered with rich textures, dynamic colour, joyful patterns, and instinctive mark-making, this piece offers a striking and emotionally resonant visual experience. Bold shapes and intricate motifs—often inspired by Vivian’s background in textile arts—add a tactile, woven quality that deepens the narrative and brings a sense of movement to the composition.

Part of a larger body of work, "Claiming the Floor" reflects Vivian’s ongoing exploration of how we can locate beauty, rhythm, and joy even in the most uncomfortable or uncertain moments.

This new body of work incorporates mixed media, collage, and paint as I process both personal and global unrest. Through layered patterns, bold motifs, and textured mark-making—many inspired by my background in textiles—I explore the ongoing tension between chaos and control.

Each piece reflects the need to organize the chaos while finding beauty and joy within the uncomfortable. Beneath the surface lies a mix of pain, resilience, and the ongoing desire to transform what feels unmanageable into something bearable and beautiful.

At its core, this work is about resilience—reshaping internal unrest into something that allows us to grow, heal, and move forward.
