“Washington Blvd” 42×42 acrylic and epoxy on panel 2014

In this series from 2014 I was exploring the idea of memory and it’s relationship to our feeling of place. We have strong emotional memories tied to certain locations as well as small recollections based on glimpses of areas we have passed by. Our memory is a reduction and refinement of our experience and I tried to collect and assemble an assortment of thoughts and impressions and distill them to their essence and lay down the elements in paint.

I developed a technique that layers paint inside thick layers of epoxy, essentially isolating each layer from one another. This physical separation gives a sense of depth, volume and detachment reflecting on the idea of memory and its many layers.
