— Memory Exposure
2018 Hazard Gallery Johannesburg
My current artistic interests reference places of emotional resonance; I am searching for enchantment in natural terrain. I am drawn to organic forms and their innate cycles of growth and decay. The ways in which paint naturally mimics these fractal processes is of particular importance to me. The month long May residency was the perfect time to feel a New York spring rise from the end of molting winter. The visionary realm of Memory Exposure traces a connection with the land itself through its hidden narratives of displacement and loss; a solace in the regenerative cycles of nature. It seeks to reflect the current need to re-wild both the land- and mind-scape.
