Above, see a shot from the show at the Moakley Federal Courthouse running now through the end of June. Below, find my Artist's Statement from this show.
REFERENCE POINT
Created over the past two years, these works search the highly impersonal world of the mass media for embedded meaning, intimate response, and collective biography. Through traditional painting and collage techniques, each piece uses layering-- layered meaning, layered content, or both-- to reconsider ordinary objects from pop culture.
Ranging from restaurant menus to Driver's Licenses; comic book pictures to baseball cards; automobile repair manuals to clothing catalogs, these pieces use images we normally take for granted, placed in a different context with new perspective
What is more intimate or revealing than showing a friend your Driver's License photo? Or more emotionally charged than the memory of an airplane ride?
Reference Point explores the intersection of the personal and the impersonal, and invites each person to consider the weight of emotions an everyday image may hold.
