28″ x 30″ – Oil on Linen
This painting is inspired by my oil painted animations. These animations are separate images played in a sequence that create a movie. With my latest work, the images are superimposed and collaged digitally. The sequence is effectively flattened and layered in one composition. I want the viewer to see multiple scenes or poses in one composition. The underlying message is that we are a sequence of experiences and a layer of knowledge and we (our mind) chooses how our experience and knowledge defines us. I use painting to describe this by choosing what part of the body to reveal and what to conceal. Who is she becoming?
