Artist Statement: Like so many thoughts or memories of place, my paintings are constructed from montage of imagery. The fractured quality of the work, resulting from digitally deconstructed photographs & thick layers of paint, creates an interlude between the images speak to the way we experience & register life visually & mentally. Just as we move from one fleeting moment to the next, my paintings use multiple perspectives to tell the story of a place compound time. Large abstract textured planes are juxtaposed with layers of realism to bring about another level of focus & guide the eye to travel in & out of various dimensions in the painting. For almost four decades now, I have been setting up camp around the world. I work with what is revealed by site & the fingerprints I impart always with the help of strangers. My art considers site, community, material & experience using architectural language & materials from or inspired by imaginary & actual sites. The painting presented to you is a reconstructed urban landscapes inspired initially by a 2014 trip to Mexico. Trips to my maternal homeland Peru, "The Motherland" Greece, The Dominican Republic, & Ireland have served as building blocks for my paintings.
