‘Tis the season. Tomorrow I am get to share my passion. I am too excited to sleep. Giddy am I. You see, I am giving a guitar to someone who loves to sing and write songs…and I am giving a collection of art supplies to a kid who loves to make art.
I am so extremely grateful to be able to do this. I wish I could see the looks on their faces, but I want to remain anonymous. It gives me so much joy to be able to share these gifts.
Watch out music city!Paint brushes, dartboards and paints.
Remember Reflect Reform
In this work, I have been exploring phenomena of memory augmentation. I experimented with reflections and cinematic images by juxtaposing photographs, paint, wood, and mylar. The direction of the work includes painting intimate, reflective, observations of augmented memories.
I began by building a cabinet of curiosities as a way to form a tableau painting and experiment with different media. Inspired by the relief paintings by artist Sally Han, I built a model of a Victorian cabinet using tenets of Darwin's theory of evolution. I painted on a variety of surfaces including wood, photographs, and adding raw lumber to the pieces. In this process, I disassembled the cabinet to give autonomy to each piece. Although I diverted from the original idea of a final installation, there was an impulse to paint larger. Adding mylar was yet another way to accentuate reflection as a part of the critical dialogue with the work. The final result offers an opportunity to remember, reflect, and reform.
