Acrylic and oil with photo collage   26 x 42" and smaller

In this series I use photography, text, and abstraction to represent the ruins of symbols and language that are left after disengagement with a “sublime object,” an ideology, or a belief system, when that “object of desire” is revealed to be merely a discursive formation and illusory screen of projections. In these works I explore notions of longing and the sublime through the relationship between the interior domestic spaces, the abstract photographic landscape backgrounds, and the ideological forms which become the intermediaries or barriers between both worlds.
