“Images breed images in me.” – British painter Francis Bacon Inspired by images of fantasy, glamour and seduction, my paintings confront the feelings of desire and longing inherent in our experience of images. I am interested in the evolving dialogue between images of the past and present, and examining the continued role and relevance of painting within this context. The pop artists and photo-realists of the 1960s and 1970s began to challenge the assumptions regarding the medium-specific traits of photography and painting by painting photographic images that, according to Michel Foucault, produced “not a painting based on a photograph, nor a photograph made up to look like a painting, but an image caught in its trajectory from photograph to painting.” My paintings continue this work. Referencing the many lenses through which our world is transformed into illusion – the eye, the mind, the camera, the screen – my paintings are invitations to linger and look and experience the sensation of seeing anew. Michel Foucault, “Photogenic Painting” Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault, eds. Gérard Fromanger: Photogenic Painting (London: Black Dog Publishing Limited, 1999) 83-105, 91.
