Artist Statement:
My recent work builds upon the
theme of myth vs. memory which
has been the focus of past
paintings and sculptures. I
have used the process of story
telling to introduce the
viewer my own memory and its
conflict with self perpetuated
folklore, as it is related to
my development as an artist.
In these paintings, I have
literally projected text on to
the canvas in an enlarged
diary form. These snippets of
personal narrative have been
abstracted through color
patterns and text distortion.
Despite the scale, visibility
and appeal of color, the
abstractions are meant to
obstruct. It gets between the
audience and the story much
like the way romanticism; ego
and drama tend to taint our
recollections.
