ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The original surveillance footage captured what I saw as a sweet moment of primal connection between a young girl and, most likely, her mother or grandmother (with the salon cape, face mask and poor quality of the footage, I couldn't say which is more likely). They’re both focused on their devices but the girl goes out her way to rest her leg against the woman’s leg, and it reminded me of that intense need for physical intimacy we’re all born with. We eventually grow to act on those feelings much less frequently than when we were children for a variety of reasons, but the need to physically connect never really goes away.

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.
