I always come back to this format when trying to work something out. Almost squares, a simple palette and a few lines.

Glyph Series: Volume 5
The fifth set in my Glyph series of twenty 12 x 12 square, textured abstract acrylic paintings created in 2015 through 2016, exploring memory.
I was thinking about two things when making these paintings.
First, the ephemeral quality of memory. It slides in some places and sticks in others. As the memory ages, it mutates and becomes subjective and infused with how we feel about it.
Second, the human need to share our memories and pass those narratives along. Fully accurate or not, we share our memories with others.
I wanted to make some paintings that could be intermixed and rearranged to tell old and new stories in a way that preserved them—as if they had been written—but still reflected the transient things they are. The paintings contrast high texture with thin layers of translucent paint. To create mutability, each of the white designs were developed arbitrarily and by chance—I dropped a fabric cord from a height and it created a design that was then used to guide the remaining direction of the painting.
Some are dynamic, full of life. Others quiet, reflective or resolved. Grouped together, perhaps a sort of story.
