ARTIST STATEMENT
|
My work is an exploration of what lies between emotions—using figures that are so cropped that any sense of recognition is gone, creating a sense of dissociation and numbness. These paintings form a scene of objects and scenery that is usually looked over. A still shot of an empty brain, documenting a single moment when there is a lack of emotion, memory, and embodiment. The way that warm skin presses on a blanket during sleep, the contrasting textures of skin, water, or even the texture of a poorly patched wall. I have challenged myself to express specific emotions in people using as little of the body as possible. The work features a unique point of view that examines the surroundings of subjects and what little and seemingly insignificant things from a crucial part of our environment affect everyday life.
