My recent body of work, Pieces of Eden, is inspired by details found in nature's colours, elements, and forms. These acrylic paintings on linen are presented as wall hangings possessing a story-like quality and replicate vintage educational banners reminiscent of the tactility of a pre-digital age. This work was influenced by what I created at an art residency in Buenos Aires in the spring of 2022.
In putting together work for this exhibit I came to realize an underlying theme I have noticed throughout the years is the influence that a sense of place presents. Influences from a change in environment for the artist can in turn evoke a different time and place for the viewer. This is reflected not only in my work's theme or subject matter but also in the delivery. By exploring a range of materials, mediums and presentation methods; new qualities emerge through finding solutions, which in turn inform other work.
I always look forward to what this process teaches me; from my experience, it's always been a welcome surprise and a gentle lesson that is rarely what we thought it might have been
