{"product_id":"nostalgia-makes-me-gluttonous","title":"Nostalgia Makes me Gluttonous","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn my painting “Nostalgia Makes me Gluttonous” I used fruit snacks as a symbol for overindulging in memorializing the past. Before making this painting I had a pack of fruit snacks for the first time in a long time. After tasting the first gummy I was transported back in time to being 8 years old with my cousins eating fruit snacks in my grandparent’s basement. Wanting to stay within this memory I ate the entire packet at once. Realizing the wrapper was empty I wished I had more fruitcakes and for it to be 2015 again. In my attempts to grasp a fading memory I had wasted the present moment by not savoring the gummies. I think nostalgia can be your best friend and your worst enemy. It often causes me to dwell on the past and wish for things I can no longer relive which in turn dampens the present. I utilized bright colors to capture the texture of the gummies and the childhood memories they hold. I experimented with a \"split image\" painting as an attempt to mimic the way scrapbooks are collaged. This is often labeled as feminine art form that preserves memories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wyatt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45794803810357,"sku":null,"price":14080.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9427\/0261\/files\/IMG_3204_qsnwsi_nvrudf_lyoak8.jpg?v=1784867601","url":"https:\/\/nottagallery.com\/products\/nostalgia-makes-me-gluttonous","provider":"Notta Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
