Hints and Autumn 2024
Mixed Media on Canvas, 12” x 14” x 2”
My work explores memory, color and materiality through painted space. I retrace surroundings and connections made with place, objects and landscape. I am interested in how we spatially orient ourselves and wander through the sites of our lives. Place is a fluid illusion: both general and detailed, permanent and temporary. Painting emerges as material amalgamation of the body’s translations of memory. My work means to connect and study the phenomenology of new perspectives on place, memory and the long history of painting.
In my work, one can see mapping and tracing of familiar rooms and biographical sites, weaving a comparison between interior and exterior situations. While these sites are rooted as representative observations, they are abstracted through daydream and nostalgia: searching for past and future connection. Color is used as a means for rich playful territory that rethinks the habitual sites on the canvas. Material investigations work tandem with studying every day relics as well as the objectood of a rectilinear painting. Currently, my paintings make many connections between a home filled with children and objects and spaces that are playful and chaotic with other memories. The work honors daily life while also retelling both simple and impactful memories and offering escapist fantasies, sharing the complicated portrayal of place within painting.
