One day I saw a rainbow flag on the side of a building. I recalled why the rainbow was chosen as a symbol for the Pride movement: because everyone is included. All the colours, any colour you can imagine, they’re all just aspects of an overall system. Cultures all over the world have and still do use rainbows to symbolize all sorts of things, and I thought to myself, “Wouldn’t it be nice to give everyone a little reminder about just how wonderful rainbows are so that they might consider just why they’ve been chosen as a symbol [for that particular subject?"

I love rainbows!!! You get thrown into a Here and Now experience, you have to say fuck off to whatever you’re doing and just gaggle dumbfounded at the glorious little spectacle that Nature just happened to be in the mood for. When I thought about all of the other depictions of rainbows that I’ve seen, I’d say over 97% of them look like shit. After all, who has the time to paint every single colour possible in one painting? So I choose to re-contextualize them by depicting them at night so that you might see them as if they were for the first time. (Later I realized that it wasn’t at night at all – it was in my imagination.) I painted them in a bunch of different ways, generally also in water themes, but the idea is just to enjoy the rainbowness of them, really.
