Fugue, 2021
Oil and painter's tape on panel
16 x 17 x 2 in.
This is a rare piece incorporating collage. After masking an area, while removing the tape, a piece tore to produce an interesting shape. I liked the composition enough to leave the element as part of the final piece. The title, "Fugue" relates to my feeling that a work of visual art can be experienced in a similar way that one would experience a musical piece or literary poem.
Statement:
The objects I produce are interrogations. They exist as curious inquiries into the ostensible dichotomy between the human animal and mutating partitions of nature. Using painting as a language, I propose mysterious, abstract narratives which are simultaneously given ground by familiar, objective imagery. Amalgamating scientific, genetic and anthropological source material, I survey and ultimately depict hybrid landscapes where diverse aspects of human physiology mesh with the origins of species. Through the merger of these methods, my exploration into the creative process develops.
