THE GARDEN

My work deals with liminal nature of contemporary life. Mixing painting and photography in a process that could almost be considered collage, I aim to find the quiet tension of the in between state of our self and our memories. I take photos from my personal life and through a fluid process of addition and subtraction with paint and photo transfers, I aim to disconnect, confuse, highlight, and stitch together composite images that communicate the ambiguity and tragedy of contemporary life.
