A Sum of its Parts
2021There is a theory called situationism where human personality is viewed as a function of response. These paintings are loosely based on this theory. The images of a place or thing represent unique responses to a situation or surroundings (all we are is what we see).
The paintings are created from photos taken using various cameras over many years. Idiosyncratic, random groupings of approximately five images represent reactive self-portraits as an echo of a thing or place. The individual paintings cannot capture the sublime nature of the initial experience, however the groupings of paintings clustered together create ghostly self-portraits.
