Overview

These "Paintings" consist of Polaroid images photographed then put through a process of unmasking the white border and then etched upon (like the birds in Matter the Sky) and/or ink transfers placed directly to the canvas and then "burned" into the emulsion (like Internal Tattooing). The body of work has an emphasis on travels and childhood nostalgia.

In March 2010, I spent 3 weeks in Egypt. Starting in Giza and then traveling west, through the Great Sand Sea, to Siwah, near the Lybian border. Some of these images were used in the "painting" Desert Butterfly and others will be incorporated into a, or several other "paintings" in the future.
