Artist Statement:
Addressing the subtleties of
relationships is my primary
focus. I am interested not
only in the relationships
between individuals, but also
the relationships between
one’s sense of self and one’s
body, between one’s “bodied”
self and the society in which
one lives. Gestures and
juxtapositions become clues in
discovering the complex
realities of human nature.
Lately, I've been focusing on
how memory fits into and
affects these relationships.
There is a reconstruction of
ourselves, our identities,
that takes place with regard
to memory. What part does
fact play in our memories and
this process of
“re-membering?” If I had
documented the facts of an
event, as I saw and understood
them at the time, would they
be a more accurate depiction
of the truth than the one my
memory currently holds, or
will hold in another 20 years?
How can what happened be in a
constant state of flux, and
how does that flux affect our
identity, and how we see and
relate to ourselves in the
present day? In many of my
paintings, the overlap of
images gives them an ethereal
quality that speaks to this
flux, the non-tangible,
dreamlike quality of memory...
