About the Item

Pure pigment, sand, mixed media on linen (30″ x 30″) Growing up in rural Upstate New York in the Hudson River Valley and within close proximity to art museums, nature and art have always played a large part in my life. I had a particular fondness to landscape painting growing up and throughout my schooling. Throughout my art career I’ve been engaged in reinterpreting and deconstructing landscape painting in various ways. For me, process of painting and landscape/nature are both awe inspiring. For this project, I take a multi-faceted approach in my process; I construct a painting utilizing formal techniques in which I employ color theory, composition, and other classical methodology, but in addition to these more traditional approaches, I create metaphors in my work using the application of paint. I developed a process of painting on unprimed raw linen with colors that I’ve created through a mixture of pure pigment and various binders to achieve a multitude of surfaces and looks. I start by staining the back of the linen with transparent pigment to create the first layer. I continue to apply layers of paint to each side of the linen using pouring techniques, brooms, scraping tools, and fabrics. I strive to create both physical and optical depth by employing color theory and the physicality of the paint mixtures. For me, the paint application works as metaphor for the way memory is constructed. The raw linen represents my lived experience. The first layer of paint, which I describe as a translucent fluid-like application, stands for the reminiscence, with a possibility of the unconscious mode seeping through. The fluid-like application itself stands for the dichotomy between the unconscious and conscious modes of remembrance, which is slippery or elusive on its own. The paint that is applied over the first layer represents further recalling of the experience. At some point through a repetition of examining the experience a new memory is constructed or is pushed to a point where the original experience is almost completely covered up. The painting becomes the priority at a certain point during the process and what is left is the idealized version of itself and the end product is an abstract painting.
