A variety of work responding to different prompts and media explorations.
Dissolution (2024)
"The passage of time is a destructive act" forms the basis of an exploration into how actions lost in routine are rediscovered and immortalized through the act of self portraiture. I paint moments from daily routine in sequence, then dissolve, destroy, or cover layers of paint to emulate the wear of time, indelible markings form the body as ghost images along a timeline. The remnants explore the relationship between transparent forms and opaque lines as symbols of time, importance, and repetition.
Routines (2023)
What effect does consolidating memories into tangible images have on the value of everyday events? My investigation began with illustrating and presenting everyday moments in order to disrupt the stagnation of routine. This changed into justifying the extended time I spend with a fleeting moment to reinforce its significance in my mind. The paintings serve as a record of my everyday. The small, controlled paintings require me to focus on the details that define the memory best. Paradoxically, these same qualities convolute the audience's insight into my life, destroying the significance to them.
