I depict an illusionistic canvas on real canvas, a doubling
of the object we call a "painting ". The ground becomes a
vertical field, an arena without perspective on which abstracted and
found images, improvised primarily from an inventory of modernist painting
and popular culture, interact. In some paintings, these typologies "press" into
the field, impacting its surface and each other. In others, the forms
exist on the periphery, appearing to exist in front of, or behind,
the ground. The shifting hierarchy between field and figure, illusion
and flatness, triggers conversations about the complications of coexistence,
both cultural and personal, which she hopes extends beyond the discourse
of painting to resonate with the pathos and humor of living. |
