ten%

Some of my earliest memories are of things I cannot see.
There has always been a connection between color and loss for me because of a genetic inability to see certain colors. Ten percent of men share this problem. The loss of the image is what is daunting because it invokes a loss of memory and an inability to hold on to relationships. I began this work by breaking down and then breaking apart color tests. I use paint swatches because the absurdity of the paint names touches on the idea of color definition. These names have no meaning to me.
Much of the subject matter within these pieces is based on photographs (my own and appropriated) of my memories of personal relationships because they are not what I would expect to find in a color test and they play into my fears of loss.
