AMERICAN MYTH

Through multiple bodies of work, I’ve been exploring a range of past cultures and belief structures, plumbing the concept of the transient nature of belief itself. With this series, I am turning my view inward and exploring the American psyche and the images and concepts that make up the inner side of the great mythic United States. I am also moving further into abstract collage, echoing in some small way the great “combine” creations of genius Robert Rauschenberg and fusing that with layered painting and concept. I am in love with how this style gives layers of meaning, texture, and visual touch, providing a rich depth to the work.

For a peek into my musical mindset for the series, turn up the great Ani DiFranco on “Phase.”
