Statement 434 Hawkeye Dr
The 434 Hawkeye Dr series deals with the relationship between domestic harmony and impersonal living spaces. By presenting my family in daily activities, I invite the viewer to share the intimacy of our apartment. Some moments quiet and ordinary and others isolating or unsettling, these paintings explore the particulars of domestic life and its direct correlation to a collective, historical narrative (i.e. biblical, classical, etc.). Replete with personal symbology and detailed specifics, these home scenes present our challenge of living a non-estranged life in an estranged environment.
interventions
T he interventions reflect on moments of injury and near death experience. These moments of near disaster or saving come from my own experience and are framed in a spiritual, historical context to imply the involvement of unseen forces. I understand these works as a visual inquiry into divine interventions. Influenced by the Gothic painting of pre-Renaissance Italy, the interventions showcase the sensational, fleshing out the interaction between the corporeal and spiritual, the natural and the supernatural.
