Currently, I am back to painting on paper. Images of female doll heads and bodies, stuffed animals, dresses, and iconic images such as Howdy Doody, Charlie McCarthy, Mortimer Snurd and Emmett Kelly. They refer to my earlier doll paintings, as well as trophy heads - being just heads. Executed in water-based media mixed with egg, the material allows for a sculptural dimension by a disregard for the sacredness of the paper by allowing for wrinkles, yet maintaining a tactile pleasure by building up a surface with thin layers of glazing. These paintings came out of a sense of urgency, as a dream poking through the unconscious to deliver a message.
The aspect of collective memory refers to something people of my generation all remember. For people of future generations these iconic images become collectibles. "Collectibles" does, in fact, refer to our collective memories. It is important that these works not be nostalgic or sentimental, but offer a departure point for all of us to remember as we face the future.
