Artist Statement:
A silver rectangle is a plane that forces a nail-scraping gesture, like in a lottery scratch-off: find three similar symbols, a familiar image, a landscape, or a memory. The images in the "Absence" series seek and deepen the complications in impermanence, memory, transience, and absence. The project, created during my visit to West Liberty University, is concerned with linguistic and pictorial depicting objects with shaken vision status. The punctual uncovering of familiar, archival images - photos from under the silver paint is an attempt to ask questions about the identity of the past. It is a question of what is not there and what has passed. It is also a question about what remains, what can be, and become part of the present (not only in the imagination, memory, vision, and recollection).
