Context

On Thea Ernest's Instagram page, this drawing is described as such: "Sea Spa is a favorite autobiographical painting, offered in 12x16 unmatted prints. It describes my sublime experience of floating on a particular day at Goosewing Beach. Understand this: for me, the word “fat” is descriptive. This is not the whispered, shameful condition that my mother and grandmother spoke of with side eye. It is a description of how my body experiences the joyful feeling of stretching out in the ocean, rolling with the waves. Enjoy!"
