WAITING PAINTINGS

​Waiting Paintings are a series of stretched, multi-colored (dyed) canvases. The majority of these paintings contain, in a collage-like structure, passages of both acrylic paint and embroidery. The imagery borrows from medical texts and encyclopedias, nature magazines, craft books, news-media images, as well as various other printed matter. Together, these images are meant to create a loose, semi-narrative abstraction that emphasizes the fractured nature of the collaged preliminary sketches and our frenetic visual culture at large.
