Too Much, 2026
Too Much
All my life, I have been told that I am “a little over the top” or simply “too much”: too loud, too emotional, too strange and too visible. As a neurodivergent person — recently diagnosed with ADHD — my mind moves quickly, notices everything, and holds many ideas at once.
More is Best does not apologize for any of it.
These 70+ works form a visual saturation. Pattern collides with pattern, colour stacks against colour and backgrounds refuse to quiet down.
The density is intentional.
The layering of marks, repetition of motifs, and insistence on ornament mirror the way my brain operates, with beauty and distraction coexisting. The work embraces abundance rather than restraint. It resists minimalism. It resists shrinking.
There is joy here, but also intensity. The sheer number of pieces becomes part of the experience. Standing in the space may feel immersive, like living inside colour, like inhabiting a mind that rarely turns down the volume.
This show, like me, can be a lot.
But “a lot” is not a flaw. It is capacity, attention, and deep feeling. More is not the opposite of enough; sometimes, it is exactly right.
