Abstract
My body of work connects memories of places like ice hockey rinks, parking lots, sedan interiors, bodies of water, rest stops and roadsides. I tell stories about nights, cars, and the suburban bizarre. The familiar and the unfamiliar blend together in poorly recalled memories of similar destinations. Skating rinks up and down the East Coast have remarkably similar features and themes, creating comfort in what should be foreign. Many highway rest-areas look different, but in recollection, feel more alike. In memories, places like this almost exist within the same dreamlike space, overlapping and connecting. This cannot be literally true, as the false recognition and subsequent false familiarity link spaces into systems.
Rituals and tendencies create structure and shape identity, but can obscure and muddle locations and series of events. My prints depict stories of memories that are increasingly blurring and entangled, but fond.
