"Your Eyes Only"

Handpainted CMYK color separation in Acrylic on Board. A recent trip to the MET found me more attracted to the sculpture wings of the museum as opposed to the painting show I had initially gone there to see. Fragmented and broken sculptures in glass cases felt like someone's long forgotten memories. Preserved and protected but not fully understood. At one time these sculptures probably held a more personal story that has been lost to time.The imagery in my work has always been based to some degree on stories I remember being drawn to as a child. Science fiction, fantasy and mythology have always featured prominently in my work but with my new way of working I spend a lot more time thinking about what it is that attracts me to these subjects. The painstaking process recreating images dot by dot is very meditative and gives me time to examine why I chose an image even if it felt impulsive initially. The exploration of my personal connection to the images I choose has become the main focus of my most recent work.
