Abstract
My artwork speaks to a dramatization of personal history through metaphor and figurative storytelling. My creative investigation is based upon the need to process personally challenging experiences. In these installation-based paintings I explore themes of introspection and trauma, through representational depictions of nature, and landscape using unrealistic color. The installation is in an unconventional space that limits the movement of the viewer, a location that necessitates proximity, and rotation around a defined space. This forced perspective placed on the viewer mirrors the mental process of introspection, and how perspective changes throughout a journey.
