Painters plastic with imprints of cinder block walls... attached to metal wall studs... environment created in which two people will continuously "paint" the walls white... "are we painting to live .... or living to paint"
Collaboration with Bridget Marie
Detritus painted and consumed by vivacious concentric circles (targets)...
The idea of something positive taking over a negative environment and ultimately consumming it...
Something beautiful and exciting taking over base, abject objects.... and emerging out from the place it has been designated/ assigned to...
Fiber paper exposed to negatives... painted with brushes and pallet knives in the darkroom with developer so as to only expose portions of the image, yet the gradation in color is caused by the manipulation of developer... the darker the value the longer the chemical was on the paper ... and vice versa
cut into quadrilaterals... sewn with monofilament (spider wire/ fishing line).. and stretched over stretcher bars...
images and language has been deconstructed... and reconstituted to become something new ...
coinciding with earlier questions... Is this a painting or a photograph? There is a use of photographi process... but it had been handled in a painterly way ... and unlike the easy accessibility of multiple copies in printing photography the images that resulted in painting can not be reproduced.... The product becomes more of an object than just an image...
It also speaks about the power your mind harvests... if you believe something is real than it is your reality ... but that thing that has become so real to you is not real for other people... so it begins to questions what constitutes what is and isnt real... how one constructs a reality with illusory ideas/things.... as with relationships, religion, existence...etc.
