| dc.description.abstract | The artist's statement: My work is primarily about the residue of human touch that builds up in ourselves and in the objects and spaces around us. I create airy, low-contrast oil paintings that use specific lighting and color variation within white tones to create empty interior spaces with an atmosphere that feels reverent and melancholy. My interest in memory and association started with painting figures directly, describing intimacy and connection in tiny moments or gestures, but as I continued to explore these ideas, my interest shifted to the echoes of those experiences, the fingerprints of attachment, brought on by instances of loss and isolation in my own life over the past two years. My more recent paintings have become more concerned with developing a visual language to talk about absence, loss, and the things that are left behind. Through experimentation, and with the restrictions of a limited color palette and value range, I’m trying to suggest memory and transience. As I continue working with these motifs, I’m looking for objects and spaces that feel weighed down by memory, to the point of almost becoming figures in their own right, with their own agency and gravity in the world. | en_US |
