Your very own cheat sheet to what this painting means: Represented here, is a woman drenched in thick syrupy molasses with a relaxed, almost sedated expression. Molasses is liquid spun from sugar cane then heated and reduced to thicken into a very thick sweet syrup. I use molasses to represent in paintings that which we find intoxicating and desirable. We have it all clinging to us. Whether its material goods, pleasure, food, video games. We all have our addiction and are veritably smothered in it. Whether we like it or not, we are pigs in mud and suckers for our vices, and all the while consiciously ignorant to how it shapes us. So why not stick this on your wall and immerse yourself too, because in the words of Dido, 'there will be no white flag above my door'. You're in love and always will be. Embrace it.
