Our experience of reality is filled with fundamental overlaps. Repressed, esoteric layers are constipated with information that denotes trauma that can puncture the present moment. In the realms of repression lies a fabric of historical wounds and experience. Through my artwork, I have opened up a dialogue with ancestral memories and energies, addressing the long-term effects of trauma and how they affect subsequent generations. Through the alchemy of paint, I rectify cellular and metaphysical memory, by translating photographs and film stills of my grandparents from the 1920s.
