Fixation

Emulsion on glass
varies; none larger than 4 x 4 inches
This installation of glass negatives wrapped the gallery. Based on found images of war and personal snapshots, the resulting collection is another attempt to talk about stored images that can be "recalled" (or made positive through the printing process).

Oil paint on dyed photo-linen
54 x 72 inches
This painting is from a series that derive from video stills I printed onto linen impregnated with a light sensitive emulsion. I then painted on the surface, following the raster lines and pixelation of the enlarged image. I studied films that presented quasi-historical narratives, such as Gone with the Wind, thinking of them as an institutional or public forms of perpetuated memory. Perception and point of view (literally) influenced the reading of each painting.
