Artwork Description:
Combining found objects and manipulated photographs with painting I can create a painiting with visual subtext. I often find it diffult to keep up with the pace of information that my eyes take in and how my mind processes that information. In this painting I wanted to create a collage, a group of compartmentalized stories like what happens when memory is stimulated by something seen. The mind remembers images, sensations from past experiences, which creates an imagined, surreal series of images. New pictures are created at the same moment where present reality and memory collide. This idea of simultaneous imagery is what I try to paint.
