Women, Roots & All No.4 is a painting exploring the injustices of being a woman and mother. The collection of textured oil paintings expose truths and honesties about the agonising existence of women and the sufferings we must endure. There is a deliberate attempt to make the base layers of these paintings complicated, abrasive and raw; relying on texture and muddy tones to reflect women just as they are. Layers of acrylics and oils expand on each piece, representing the many faces were adorn as women; the duties, expectations and demands placed on us by society and ourselves. Large blocked out areas of paint act as a visual reprieve against the gestural work of oil sticks, which are chaotic, unencumbered and free - representing a state of carelessness we all long to feel.

Pine tree from Grand Tetons in Wyoming. Woodcut print on 18x24 inch paper. Made by hand, not machine printed. Each print is made by hand by printing directly from the roots of a tree. This tree grew in one of the most beautiful places in the United States, The Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. The wood that is used to make the prints is gathered from already fallen trees. As an artist, my purpose is to reveal the artistry that exists in nature and to present it in a way that is accessible enough to hang on a wall in your home. I also want to bring our attention to our impact on the landscapes that surround us. These tree ring prints help us see our place in a much larger historical context and hopefully each ring makes us reflect on the limited time that we have in this beautiful landscape. Each print is like a fingerprint from mother nature. All prints are made by hand using the traditional woodblock method. This listing: Material: 100lb acid free paper Size: 18x24 Type: Pine Paint: High quality textured ink. Ships in a sturdy tube. Signed by artist Inquire about custom orders and wholesale options.

Highlights A compelling exploration of how our pursuit of happiness makes us unhappy We live in an age of unprecedented prosperity, yet everywhere we see signs that our pursuit of happiness has proven fruitless. About the Author: Benjamin Storey and Jenna Silber Storey are Senior Fellows at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C., and Research Professors at Furman University. 264 Pages Philosophy, Ethics & Moral Philosophy Series Name: New Forum Books Description Book Synopsis A compelling exploration of how our pursuit of happiness makes us unhappy We live in an age of unprecedented prosperity, yet everywhere we see signs that our pursuit of happiness has proven fruitless. Dissatisfied, we seek change for the sake of change--even if it means undermining the foundations of our common life. In Why We Are Restless, Benjamin and Jenna Storey offer a profound and beautiful reflection on the roots of this malaise and examine how we might begin to cure ourselves. Drawing on the insights of Montaigne, Pascal, Rousseau, and Tocqueville, Why We Are Restless explores the modern vision of happiness that leads us on, and the disquiet that follows it like a lengthening shadow. In the sixteenth century, Montaigne articulated an original vision of human life that inspired people to see themselves as individuals dedicated to seeking contentment in the here and now, but Pascal argued that we cannot find happiness through pleasant self-seeking, only anguished God-seeking. Rousseau later tried and failed to rescue Montaigne's worldliness from Pascal's attack. Steeped in these debates, Tocqueville visited the United States in 1831 and, observing a people "restless in the midst of their well-being," discovered what happens when an entire nation seeks worldly contentment--and finds mostly discontent. Arguing that the philosophy we have inherited, despite pretending to let us live as we please, produces remarkably homogenous and unhappy lives, Why We Are Restless makes the case that finding true contentment requires rethinking our most basic assumptions about happiness. Review Quotes " Excellent. . . . Why We Are Restless stands out among other books like it by answering the question implied by its title with rigor and charity."---Matt Dinan, Hedgehog Review "[A] terrific book. Hard to understand modern secular culture if you don't know anything about Montaigne."---Timothy Keller, New York Times bestselling author "Unapologetically earnest . . . brave and countercultural."---Joe Moran, Times Higher Education " Beautifully written and carefully argued, it's as searching as it is subtle. . . . [Why We Are Restless] does a magnificent job of summarizing four hugely important thinkers with impressive clarity, wit, and brevity and raises some profound questions about the modern quest for happiness in the process."---Andrew Wilson, Gospel Coalition ""Why We Are Restless is a rich analysis of why we are unhappy and what we might begin to do about it.""---Nathaniel Peters, Law & Liberty "[Benjamin and Jenna Storey's] book is an education in the irony and complexity of the modern quest for contentment, and in the pre-modern sources required for any understanding of how to actually achieve meaningful contentment. . . . I can't recommend it enough."---Yuval Levin, National Review "A great read for pastors, theologians, and Christians who want to think deeply and critically about the culture."---Stephen Roberts, Modern Reformation "A powerful case that the invention of 'immanent contentment' in early modern France has everything to do with the infinite restlessness of the postmodern United States."---Delaney Thull, Fare Forward "Culturally significant. . . . this study is a rich resource for reflection."-- "Paradigm Explorer" "I have read many critiques of liberalism, but none so original as Why We Are Restless."---Barton Swaim, Wall Street Journal "Throughout this excellent book, the Storeys provide a model for how the thought of the past can be made vital."---Diana Schaub, Claremont Review of Books "Written in an engaging and compact style, [Why We Are Restless] is essential reading for all observers of the persistent, often hidden, but increasingly visible unhappiness of contemporary life. Benjamin and Jenna Storey have done us the service of restoring some of the deepest arguments about human happiness that lie at the roots of modern politics."---Adam Thomas, Public Discourse About the Author Benjamin Storey and Jenna Silber Storey are Senior Fellows at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C., and Research Professors at Furman University. They live in Greenville, South Carolina, with their three children. Website jbstorey.com
