I haven't worked on paintings much of late. I haven't been in the mood. I am struggling with the themes that I work with, the deconstruction and reconstruction of memory. I am not sure it that relates to my paintings as much as it does to the photographs and sculptures. The paintings use many of the same ideas, the torn paper and books, combining elements to make some sort of background, but then the imagery seemingly has nothing to do with the rest of the stuff I do. Maybe I just need to work it out, work through the block I'm having. Even if the paintings don't really relate to the rest of the stuff I do, I still think they are cool.
