Mixed Media on Canvas
The rapid pace of technological advancement is astounding. Each new version of the phone/computer in my pocket renders old technology obsolete. This series is a collection of everyday household items from the past, once essential, now absent. My paintings are densely layered with collage, printmaking, acrylic and pastel. However, the finished pieces evoke quick sketches from memory, slightly skewed by the haze of nostalgia.
