nonphysical reality #2025-9

Statement
After viewing a large number of images on social media and other platforms, I capture the non-material, ambiguous "images" that linger in my mind and translate them onto the unmoving surface of a painting using tactile, material paint.
I focus on two key aspects that characterize these remembered "images": their ambiguous forms and their vivid sense of presence.
One of the standards I use in my process is whether the surface remains "unresolved"—whether my eyes, in attempting to grasp the composition, keep darting restlessly across the canvas, unable to find a single point of focus.
