Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
This is a mixed-media collage-painting hybrid on canvas. The piece is could be read as a mediation on time and transformation - frequently recurring themes in the artist's work. Images of archaeological finds from the colonial period are juxtaposed with photos of analogous artifacts from the near modern and contemporary periods, suggesting the ways in which our daily lives are palimpsests of the lives of our ancestors.

I make thoughtful mixed-media works that mediate friction between narrative and materiality. Novelistic pastiche and intuitive abstract painting confront each other in a bricolage of photographs, paint, and found objects. From a trace discovered in a few abject elements at the beginning of my process, I interweave strata, adding and subtracting components strategically or intuitively to create a quirky grammar of intellect and wonder. While my development has been steadily nourished by great mixed-media artists of the past, including Kurt Schwitters, Robert Rauschenberg and the Kienholzes, I'm also inspired by contemporaries like Fred Tomaselli, Julian Schnabel and Barnaby Furnas. Due to a lifelong visual impairment, I have access to the Library of Congress audio collection; the books I listen to while painting frequently inform my work. I think of my pieces as contemporary equivalents to religious icons, memory gardens or totem poles; abstracted story-boards in which the gaze explores systems of interpretation and meaning in a shared situation with the artwork. My practice seizes the narrative debris of Spectacle - advertisements with their flattened affect, litter, hyper-real media images, plastic paint - and humanizes them in matrices of personal symbolism. I strive to push the narrative element as far as it can go in materiality and, beyond merely illustrating, signify stories infused with broad, universal themes and questions.
