This is based on a photo I took of my partner during a week spent in Seoul with a group from the US. I wanted to capture the moment of quiet in the hotel room after another day of intense heat and overstimulation. I enjoyed the idea of painting someone while asleep and unaware, their face completely relaxed and empty of contrivance. There was a jumbotron across from our window that constantly sent flashing images and bright colors flooding into the room, and the impression that had on me found its way into parts of the painting.

I see each of my paintings as a dense collection of layered missteps guided by a single underlying intention. In most of my work, I’m attempting a semi-realistic interpretation of an imagined environment, employing realism and abstraction in a way that gives the impression of a scene on the verge of collapse. The photographic source material I use serves as both a jumping off point and something to fight against. I try to glean from the source only that which resonates with me and dispose of the rest so as to avoid slavish depiction. The ideal result is a faint echo or a total reconstruction of what is observed, anchored by recurring themes of nostalgia, my own existential anxieties and the corruption of human memory. I view the painting process as a form of self-examination – the end product’s value lying in the thoughts, emotions and memories I’ve projected onto the objective source.
