2024-2025 PAINT ON VEILS
/PAINT ON SKIN
“Ghost Stories”
digital inkjet on cotton rag paper
— mostly 30” x 24”
I’m standing between two related paintings I’ve made. The one behind me is on canvas and the one I’m holding up in front of me is on translucent gauze.
As I move, the lines blur and the shapes they make change. My body disappears to make way for something else.
NOTE: The veil paintings are done on silk habutai or silk gauze. The silk becomes a kind of cocoon - and that’s where, by analogy, this kind of thing happens. One life form dissolves and becomes another.
