ARTIST STATEMENT
The landscape and historical architecture have always been awe-inspiring to me, and is what led me on my journey to document the passing of time. In my latest series, "Love Letter Tour," I explore the moments captured during self explorative family travels where photography falls short and memories begin to fade. By capturing the glimpse of ourselves in reflections or as a shadow across a marble floor, I attempt to embed us into world history through tactile oils. Much like the fractures in an Italian facade, I pile on layers of paint while the reminiscence of the painting's past crackles through.
This series is inspired by Artist Stephen “ESPO” Powers' "Love Letter Tour," a series of 50 hand-painted mural signs around Philadelphia, which is where our love story began. By lingering on these flickering memories, I have learned that filling in the blank spaces is where I find myself, within the abstraction.
