Your last living memory, oil on mylar, 4.5 X 6.5”
My paintings explore memory, the effects of time, and family relationships. Although my work starts from a personal perspective, I hope by closely examining thoughts of family, erosion of memory, the shape a person leaves behind, and even the imagination of childhood, that I am creating something universal.
Through the process of painting, I build up surfaces only to sand them down again. The images erode and shift as the process is repeated, building texture and history. Through the use of color and oil paint, I am able to achieve an experience with the image that the photograph was unable to capture. I create new memories to continue the conversation with the past.
