22″ x 27″ – Oil on Aluminum
The outer edge of the picture plane is as important as what is inside. His arms repeat the rectangular border of the composition and he is covering his eyes from a light or an unknown force beyond its four walls. As with most of my work in this series, the figure is created by combining multiple disjointed body parts. The three main moments I drew from represent different competing moments in time. The work is meant to evoke the idea that we are a product of our own experiences and our actions. We are not a definable or singular moment in time. My use of saturated color, bright light and translucently painted forms heightens that fleeting effect of passing time and memory. The viewer’s is encouraged to bring meaning to the work and interpret what is happening based on his/her own life experience.
