Alexander Churchill, The Travelers
Alexander Churchill was born in San Diego, California and raised in Vermont. He earned a BFA from Green Mountain College in 2008 and currently works as a visual artist in Connecticut.
Reflecting on the Love In The Time of Anxiety series, Churchill states, “This series examines the struggle to achieve multiple levels of love, well being, and equanimity in a time in which fear, distrust, anger, and anxiety are prevalent sentiments in our society. With this work, I aim to address these obstacles at the collective level while attempting to overcome them by scaling them down to a personal one. Through contending with personal melancholia and cynicism that encumber peace of mind I intend to find understanding and forgiveness of my own asshole tendencies and those of others that annoy me while emphasizing and appreciating positive and loving relationships. My goal here is to identify, work through and eliminate harmful negative feelings of impatience, contempt, and disdain for certain people (like lying racist moron con artist presidents and the people that vote for them, or people that crave digital attention at the expense of an individualist truth and general awareness of reality), while simultaneously recognizing a common thread of basic good and humanity.”
