Project Description
In my paintings, I create a dream-like montage of symbols from history and my life, which emerge out of a stream of consciousness and involve intuitive channeling. The element of theatre is important as it allows for nonsensical play and I often meld architectural elements from art history with nature as a stage for a dramatic scenario. In order to organize the unpredictable paths of these blending streams of the unconscious and conscious, I need a greater arena in which to work.
Stream of Consciousness Watershed is about allowing me to enlarge on and enhance some of the motifs currently emerging in my work, so I will need to rent a larger studio and purchase large canvases and materials in order to have a sufficient space to assemble and execute my paintings. To do this will also require that I obtain more storage space in order to organize and archive earlier formulations of the themes I am now expanding upon. In addition, archiving my work will entail allocating some of this grant towards photography of work as well as building and improving my website.
My vision will culminate in presenting these thematic larger-scale pieces in an exhibition.
