This work focuses on how memory fits into and affects our relationships. There is a reconstruction of ourselves, our identities, that takes place with regard to memory. What part does fact play in our memories and this process of “re-membering?” If I had documented the facts of an event, as I saw and understood them at the time, would they be a more accurate depiction of the truth than the one my memory currently holds, or will hold in another 20 years? How can what happened be in a constant state of flux, and how does that flux affect our identity, and how we see and relate to ourselves in the present day? In many of my paintings, the overlap of images gives them an ethereal quality that speaks to this flux, the non-tangible, dreamlike quality of memory. But the images have become tangible and permanent in the oil on canvas, thus creating a new relationship.
