Finding the Light
In Finding the Light, painting is a time-based media. It is a strategy of searching for meaning and hope in the rituals and memories of my daily life. Through the practice of painting, I examine and maintain connections to my chosen family even when space and time keeps us apart. The process of constructing these paintings involves the collection and collaging together of pictorial references from videos, photographs, drawings, and my own memory, all of which have varying degrees of clarity. I excavate these often blurred, dim, or dull images to find the light that is already there.
