By remembering regrets and "almost moments" it is my hope that the viewer will acknowledge and reflect on the great weight of their past experiences. I capture those tiny forgotten experiences or feelings, and inject them into my work.
I strive to evoke emotions and memories on the viewer, bringing them back to a time or place they have not been in years.
Gloria 1985 is a multi-part series of large scale drawings dealing with ideas of love, romance, innocence, regret, and hope. The narrative begins on September 27, 1985 the day Hurricane Gloria touched down on the east coast. This body of work revolves around a fictional couple who met after the storm had fully passed in a local park surveying the damage.
This series of work is twelve plus months in the making, and this exhibition will be the first time that these two dozen drawings will be hung in the same room together. These drawings range in size from 18" x 24" to 76" x 120". The process of making this work begins by mono printing flat color onto sheets of Mulberry paper. The sheets are then backed with a double sided adhesive, cut out, and adhered to the backing sheet of Japanese paper. The figures are drawn or screenprintied and adhered to the backing paper.
