Adam McGalliard\u2019s Blodeuwedd. (Find out more about the competition at artrenewal.org.) Of course we had to ask the artist about the piece, his process, and his secret to staying enchanted!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"584\" data-end=\"1257\"><strong data-start=\"584\" data-end=\"605\">Enchanted Living:<\/strong> What fascinates you and what inspires you?<br data-start=\"648\" data-end=\"651\" \/><strong data-start=\"651\" data-end=\"674\">J. Adam McGalliard:<\/strong> I\u2019m really drawn to old stories like myths, fairy tales, the kind of narratives that have been passed down for centuries because they touch something deep in us. I love painting figures who are caught between different worlds or in moments of change. There\u2019s something about characters who carry both strength and fragility that really speaks to<br \/>\nme. My inspiration comes from all over the place, from books I\u2019m reading, time spent in nature, even dreams that stick with me. I\u2019m always looking for that feeling that there\u2019s something magical just under the surface of ordinary life.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"2045\"><strong data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1266\">EL:<\/strong> How did Blodeuwedd come about?<br data-start=\"1297\" data-end=\"1300\" \/><strong data-start=\"1300\" data-end=\"1308\">JAM:<\/strong> I\u2019ve been fascinated by her story for years. In Welsh mythology, Blodeuwedd is a woman made from flowers, conjured by two male magicians to be the obedient wife of a man cursed never to marry a human. She wasn\u2019t born, she was constructed, built to serve someone else\u2019s needs with no say in the matter. But then she chooses something for herself. She falls in love with another man and tries to escape the life that was forced on her, and for that, she\u2019s condemned. People often focus on the idea of betrayal, but what draws me in is the courage of claiming selfhood, of refusing to accept what isn\u2019t right. I wanted to paint her not as a cautionary tale but as someone fierce and defiant, reclaiming her autonomy in the face of control.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2650\"><strong data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2054\">EL:<\/strong> Can you explain the painting and what it signifies?<br data-start=\"2106\" data-end=\"2109\" \/><strong data-start=\"2109\" data-end=\"2117\">JAM:<\/strong> I painted her in a moment of transformation. She\u2019s still connected to the nature and spell she was created from, but she\u2019s also breaking away from it. You can see the flowers and intertwining roots are both part of her body and something she\u2019s emerging from. It\u2019s meant to capture that tension between what we\u2019re made to be and who we choose to become. The flowers are beautiful, but they\u2019re also a kind of prison. I wanted that duality to come through, the beauty and the danger, the stillness and the change happening all at once.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2652\" data-end=\"3412\"><strong data-start=\"2652\" data-end=\"2659\">EL:<\/strong> And finally, how do you stay enchanted?<br data-start=\"2699\" data-end=\"2702\" \/><strong data-start=\"2702\" data-end=\"2710\">JAM:<\/strong> For me, it\u2019s in the everyday work of making art, those long, quiet hours in the studio when I\u2019m completely absorbed in what I\u2019m doing. I take my dog on walks every morning too. I live in a historic area with lots of trees and small parks, and there\u2019s something about being in those spaces that draws me back to the same myths and stories, many of which are nature-centered. These places that I\u2019ve seen hundreds of times always show me something new. It\u2019s not always this grand, magical feeling. Sometimes it\u2019s just the satisfaction of noticing how light falls across a patch of grass or a certain angle of an old oak tree. Staying open to those small moments of wonder is where the magic lives for me.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3414\" data-end=\"3504\">See more of McGalliard\u2019s work at <a href=\"http:\/\/mcgalliard.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mcgalliard.net<\/a> or visit him on Instagram @<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/adammcgalliard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adammcgalliard<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_column_text css=\"\"] Blodeuwedd (2023), by J.
