Memories are powerful. They often make us hold on to objects for a long time. They make us move forward and backwards. I rather hear people talk than talk.
Some memories are corrupted and others can pass as hallucinations. In the end they are all subjective. I think of memories as trees. In Reynosa, the trees were painted white with cal so the tree would last the winter or plague; anything. I often think about doing the same thing to memories. I want to protect the little bits I can remember.
And I often join them all in a world that only exists within me which I paint so it can exist outside of me.
Your work is lovely in the etherealness and whisper to memories with color and line. I love that you've delved so deep into your subject matter. Cemeteries were a focus of my work through my BFA years. Can't wait to see how you push yourself in the future!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathryn. Sorry for the late reply. I am hoping you could share with me some of your paintings/artwork of cemeteries. Thank you once more for your comment.
