Artist's Statement
My Books series explores the archives of memory — painted blank for memories lost, painted full of desire for what must be chronicled but is out of reach. The blank books are accounts of my memory loss due to ECT. Book covers are thrown open, pages stilled to reveal nothing. They represent the emotions hovering between the lines of my thoughts.
I paint in watercolor to represent fragility of thought and emotion. Through careful painting, the white of the paper is activated to become light. The light destroys the form of the still life. It is in this visible space of destruction that emotion is conveyed. The form hovers between materiality and immateriality. The shadow provides visual and emotional weight, darker and heavier than the form suggests.
Through paint, water, and patience, the still-lifes become an external product of an internal process, shoved out into the world, my explanation of life.
