People as Plants

Carve, 2023, Acrylic on Watercolor, 18" x 24"

Carve

Carve portrays Hixson’s sister, whose presence is defined by care, independence, and an intuitive sense of freedom. The layered marks suggest a life shaped through choice rather than pressure, with each form emerging through gentle persistence. As his “wonder twin,” she is rendered not as a mirror, but as a parallel force, moving alongside him with empathy, strength, and an unwavering capacity to hold others.
