C-lective Curator’s Cut:

In Waiting #310, an anonymous figure stands against bold planes of orange and black, their face obscured by Brett's signature scribbled marks that seem to push and pull between painting and object. The layered paint breaks the illusion of a single picture plane, making you question where the figure ends and the surface begins. Yet the longer you spend with it, the more familiar it becomes. That tension is at the heart of Amory's Waiting series, which explores the quiet rituals that shape our everyday lives and the strange limbo of being physically present while our minds are somewhere else. Whether waiting in line, commuting, or simply passing through the day, these ordinary moments become reflections on attention, routine, and the subtle alienation of modern life. What first feels eerie gradually transforms into something deeply recognizable—a portrait not of one individual, but of an experience we all share.
