"The Void"
I am currently developing this the series of paintings. I am working on these alongside the animated .gif's. I am literally painting computer generated .gif images rendered using no more than seven colors that I then mix before starting the painting.
The focus here is to move these figures through a shared space. I am creating ideal interior spaces that would lend themselves to a larger scale installation.
Thematically this body reflects the absurdity of what is projected onto the notion of being feminine by the void of femininity. The abstractions and distortions made in several stages to the source material establish visual distance abstracting the intent of the original images giving me space to arrange them. These changes in media, formats, and collaging take a vapid idea of femininity and impose the probing question "Is this feminine?".
