I once created a flipbook melding the faces of two friends: the first fell out of focus into a featureless haze that refocused as the second. My paintings draw from such photographs. Blurry portraits of friends, mute and malleable, respond to the nostalgic memories we hold for those we have lost and the longing they inspire.
As I work with pastel on coarse watercolor paper, the pigment is heavily layered. Through a prolonged process of addition and subtraction, I attempt to lend a living breath, to produce portraits that are not static, but wavering. The pastel medium, essentially dust, speaks to impermanence; figures emerge and recede, both elusive and confrontational. Some are veiled with a layer of mark making. The red lines scoring “Jasna” could read as a text or a numbering of days – repetition that plays with the atmospheric space, pushing the portrait further from the viewer while flattening the overall image. There, the women depicted remain in limbo: on the edge of becoming or the verge of disappearing altogether.
