Referencing my own life, I make art as a means for preserving the most meaningful connections and memories taken from endearing experiences. As my father’s caretaker between 2020-2023, I was continuously provoked to stop, survey, and record my ruralsuburbian landscape. As a result, “Daytime Moon” and “Rising Expectations” represent two works from a collection of seventeen reimagined landscapes or time-capsules created as drawings and paintings for the show Surroundings, at FSCJ South Gallery.
