“My series of paintings create a liminal space that tells a familial narrative through the malleability of time. I use the amalgamation of different frames and moments to create a tapestry of stories that describe the generational knowledge and relationship that continues through one’s family. I’m collaging different moments in time to create a scattered and suspended reality between each separate memory. The black and white reference photo is turned into a full-colour oil painting, while the contemporary photo sewn into the landscape is black and white. This flip of expectations, old vs new, is used to create its own space outside of expectations. Hung from the ceiling, freely able to move with the environment; referencing hung tapestry. Textiles have played a huge part in generational knowledge transfer, carrying stories, holding deep traditions, and healing relationships.”
