about the paintings for the Narratives exhibition

there is a narrative that occurs when
image and word are placed within
the same boundary or frame
word(s) change the
viewers’
perception of
an image or images
reciprocally an image or images
alter the viewers’ understanding of a word or words
and
the dimensional element of time via the process of layering
affects the narrative of image and word
foreground becomes background
background(s) become the
underlying structure
within which the
fusion of
image
and
word
occurs

the body of work for this exhibition explores the narrative possibilities of when
image and word are bound together within the framework of painting
the work as a unified whole presents the viewer with a
visual lexicon
that entices one
to engage a larger narrative
to take an imaginative leap into new worlds
