Contiguous Pictures is an installation comprised of painting, drawing, text, photocopies, and sound that ruminates on loss and absence while emulating the fragmented and imprecise ways we might recollect time and space.
As a surrogate for reality itself, the photographic object is a starting point for each piece comprising Contiguous Pictures. The resulting paintings and drawings that I create using photorealism and trompe l’oeil emulate the fragmented and imprecise ways we might recollect or reconstruct the irreproducible past. Like compromises between remembering and forgetting, these handmade images, combined with text, audio, and photocopies, form a layered fiction about loss and absence that mimics the way we might recollect time and space while navigating the relationships between truth and fiction, fiction and memory, and memory and the photographic object.
