Mnemonic Reverie
Abstract paintings that portray how we internally visualize memory.
Abstract paintings that portray how we internally visualize memory.
Memory exists in a state of flux, when we try to pin it down, to hold it for a second so we can examine details and feelings, it will not sit still. My paintings are like etherized butterflies pinned in a frozen pose, captured and preserved. And yet I strive to record the flittering pulsation of an active memory without killing it.
Pulsation is that state where memory is visible and yet vibrates in self-contradictions and shifting contexts. The other key visual characteristic of memory is repetition. It is the way we strengthen memories, and its layered associative nature becomes a series of looping visuals.
