Joi Murugavell
Her struggle with “the trials and tribulations” of human communication is reflected throughout her work. “Oodlies” are the characters that appear in her paintings and stand for the odd lies we sometimes tell ourselves and others.
“I want to get to know myself better, I do that through painting and drawing, as long as that keeps happening I feel I keep making progress. When I show my work, that’s a whole different thing, it’s not about my wants, it’s about what people see in themselves, or learn about themselves. Oh! Yeah! I read a cool thing by British artist Keith Tyson ‘Everything else is trying to sell you something else, art is trying to sell you yourself’.”
