oil on glass, 48x22
Silhouette
The simple composition of this work allows an unassuming approach to the figure. Upon inspection, the front of the face is entirely missing, which creates a desired tension. Intrinsic to this intentionality is working to get at the loss of identity in the pursuit of one’s own perception of beauty and simplicity.

Childlike
This painting is an exploration of our intimacies with various things and the offspring of these relationships. The fragility and preciousness of human life is contrasted by cold artificiality, fear, and triviality. Yet the unguarded nature of the figure along with an interactive installation invite intimacy. The work includes a mount which allows it to be displayed with either side facing the viewer.

Portrait of a Spinning Man
This work explores the relationships among the self alongside the human/technology layers. Implied interpretations are levels of consciousness, the editing of self in the digital space, and the hierarchies of humans and technology. It seeks to ask questions of motive and control. The mount holds the framed panes off the wall, allowing them to spin about a vertical axis.

Mediator
The figure is simple, static, and beautiful—and barely tense. She is seen from the back and the slightest edge of her eyelashes show that her eyes are open. When the painting is folded from right to left to reveal the other side, she appears the exact same, only mirrored. At play here are ideas of manipulation, beauty, perception, and control.

Loss
This work highlights the confusion associated with self-perception. The painted side is more approachable in a traditional sense, except for the inescapable voids in the face, so curiously placed across the mouth, eye, and ear. And this void (actually just the surface of the glass) has a represented affect on the flesh in the form of a shadow. When viewed from the other side, the glass serves as an obfuscation and necessary component to the translucent appearance of flesh. This work can be displayed with either side facing the viewer.

Bauble
This intimate work looks into ideas of obsession, control, identity... The figure holds a small object, but both the figure and the object spin about their center. Their connection does not betray who is the controller, but puts them at clear odds with the viewer’s real space.

Woman with a Black Triangle
This work explores the relationship between technology and humanity. The flesh is traditionally rendered, except for the areas in shadow and other voids, where the glass forms the surface of the flesh. These areas are not only affected by what’s underneath but, in certain areas, are that material. This tension spreads beyond the figure, where passages of paint struggle against the glass. The paint is a thin veil, appearing thinner with increased inspection. Moreover, viewers can see their reflection in the glass, synthesizing the audience to the dynamic.

We Will See
This work, like many in the series from the UBIQUITY show, has an integral kinetic element. The work spins about a vertical axis, allowing access to both sides of the glass pane. The figure’s eyes are open on one side and closed on the other.
I’m messing around with cultural themes here. The glass and paint are so painfully “transparent” (obvious/unguarded) yet the work itself is a bit confusing and curious. Intention, resolution, motive, identity, and the subconscious are all influencers in the formulation of the content.
