Artist Statement

Even the most vivid of memories may be incomplete.

A facial expression, an article of clothing or the location may be the only piece left.

My compositions each represent a moment in time.

Some recollections come intermingled with others, some are blurry, others partial.

But all carry with them a wave of emotion. Welcomed or not.

I reference photos, some I’ve taken, others borrowed from the collections of family members.

I pull from my own memories, conversations and experiences.

The almost process feels more important than the subject matter to me. If even just one dot didn’t exist the image would appear different - just as if one second of the memory was lost, the whole would be altered.

Stippling allows me to build up the composition, as seconds and minutes build up the moments in your life, which eventually become memories. The transparency of the mylar allows me to create the overlapping and intertwined manor in which some memories come back to us.
