This particular piece began in West Orange, NJ, prior to my move to Durham, NC. While you may not notice any particular defining landmarks, the crossroads are two streets I spent most of my time on - either driving into and out of our neighborhood, or walking the kids to and from school. My partner and I were in the midst of deciding wether or not to sell our home and relocate. It appears I completed this painting sometime in January of 2021, and then we finally decided to sell our home in March. I believe I was simply asking myself to be in that space of the decision. While it was not a simple choice, I recall moving into a place of acceptance and curiosity, rather than one of resistance. Orange is often associated with creativity, and crossroads are a metaphor of impending change. I don't even know if I was aware of the exactitude of this painting - a crossroads is "a point at which a crucial decision must be made that will have far-reaching consequences."
