What Passes for Play
embryonic throwback exploration in vulnerability and authenticity
2024 ongoing
I'm not sure I've ever understood play in an experiential sense. I've observed it. I've acted at it without admitting I was acting. I knew it took effort. I sensed it wasn't that way for everyone.
These pieces are work masquerading as play.
They came about through my effort to understand my life experiences and memories through the lens of autism.
Re-Imagination
hand-drawn digital reiterations of some of my favorite oil paintings
transformed into a cleanly linear pop-art style
self-referential hybrid work
Elements of this integrative work span thirty years of archived images of paintings and drawings pieced with digital drawing, color manipulation, text, assemblage and more. It's a wide and open-ended body of work closely related to the newer "What Passes for Play" series, with the main distinction being the inclusion or exclusion of digital elements.
