o Description: Starting with an image transfer from the New York Times of the Italian people singing on their balconies during the pandemic and through a meditative process of layering paint, ink, maps and book pages I created a dreamlike world to express the chaos that was going on in the world and inside my mind. The result is a palimpsest which disrupt the stable coordinates of time and place resulting in an alternate world that is at once disorienting yet somehow at peace. Disparate elements work together to create an ephemeral atmosphere of fragmentation and beauty, filled with contrasts and contradictions where memory and perception intersect. The process is a transformative experience that informs the work, with each layer adding richness and depth, creating intimacy. The idea is slowly revealed, mirroring the layers of the subconscious thought process.
