Record. Painting

This space is where we blocked out the world and listened staring off through the backyard and up the hill until the sun got so far away that all we could see were our own reflections in the glass. I was inspired to do this series after realizing how we hold places in our mind's eye that we love or remember so vividly, but often no longer exist. These snippets of imagery are signposts of the moments that have influenced and shaped us into the current collection of our selves. After completing the first painting, I came to realize that the layers of paint and scratching away also symbolize the way that emotions and inner experiences tied to memories layer, change, and grow in ways that remind us of the miracles of humanity. Something once sweet and lovely may have a pang of longing attached to it now, while difficult memories have lost their edges and formed delicate bits that can be understood in new, graceful, and beautiful ways. The paintings take on abstract qualities because once conceived, I release the ideas of what the paintings are supposed to look like. The paintings come to be through a process of watching and working with the paint, tools, and that part in each one of us that finds beautiful things when we move with our curiosity like on a walk in the most untouched parts of nature. This series is in oil on hand stretched and gessoed canvases that I build in my studio. I enjoy the process of making them myself and find the quality and texture of the canvas unmatched.
