In this In-Sync post, I have the opportunity to share my interview with Chicago-based artist Patricia Larkin Green. I have known Patricia for a few years. I was thrilled to visit the exhibition of her ongoing series of unmade beds at the President’s Gallery of Chicago State University. These paintings that relate to our intimate spaces capture our sense of humanity and often resemble a surreal landscape of hills and valleys.

Larkin Green Unmade Bed series at LillStreet
Patricia Larkin Green is currently working on a series named: I paint my unmade beds. Combining these paintings with her poetry is important to her. “This is how I reconcile my art spirit with corporate persona. A morning meditation over my body’s imprint on hotel linens, observing yesterday’s dreams filtered by a strange city’s dawning potential. A new daylight stretches across crushed pillows and twisted covers. Then: I suit up, paint my face and confront the business world. “
