Artist Statement
I explore themes of identity by creating fictional, visual biographies and abstract deconstructed narratives. My work is a fusion of reclaimed and reimagined orphaned and digital photographs, abstract drawings, and other antique ephemera that I digitally alter, combine and repurpose to add narrative texture. I manipulate the image by exaggerating, adding and subtracting physical attributes to create illusory detail. Each of these mixed media works is composed of many subtle layers of pigmented beeswax monotypes, photographs, abstract drawings and antique ephemera which form an amalgam of a biographical detail. I develop a series of paintings by creating an imagined fellowship or community, geographic location or cultural bond for the subjects of these lost and forgotten photographs. I celebrate the human response to identify the other.
