"This piece "Mental Manifest Destiny" is about my transition from my home in San Diego to my current residence in Detroit. I started it while at the beach with my girlfriend Bethany, a common occurrence before my move, so there is probably sand embedded in some of the gouache. It was finished 2,300 miles away in brick walled loft in Detroit a few months later. The piece is a personal reflection on my transition between places, which I think a lot of people can relate to. Having feelings of carrying with you pieces of home while moving to a new place. The figure in the painting is stuck between two bodies of land. Holding a boat in his hand wondering where it should sail next. Does it go east or west? Mental Manifest Destiny is a play on words about the western expansion of the United States and how in my transition I was internally facing west." - Jonny Alexander
