Artist Statement:
BRIGHT FICTIONS
Through the exploration of my photographic archives, memories are brought forth in a process I refer to as “searching the dig for relics”. These remnants, or artifacts if you will, are gathered and arranged to emerge transformed into finished paintings.
To quote John Berger:
“The work enters the totality of what the present consciously inherits from the past, and in entering that totality it changes it.”
To quote Jonathan Raban:
“It comes from the Latin word Ficta, which means, I give shape to things. And I think that taking the material of an actual journey through life and trying to pattern it and discover plot in it is turning it into fiction in the best sense.”
