I have an
extremely good memory.
Memory is
uniquely selective about what adheres and what falls away. Memories can
be sharply defined episodes recorded in detail, with specific feelings, and
moving images. Other memories are fluid and often fragments of texture
and color which may themselves trigger emotions. I think of memory as a
shadow which lingers from encounters and places.
Memory,
influenced by time, place, and experience forms the catalyst for my
paintings. I believe my paintings are often an attempt at resolution of
memories that are stuck like films on continuous replay. It is my hope
that the viewer’s own memories of places and experiences will be triggered by
these works. The greatest compliment for me is for the viewer to find his
or her own meaning in my work.
All
of the paintings in this show are acrylic. All works were completed
between 2015 and 2019.
