Unraveling, Spring 2016
Bricks, canvas, watercolor
This work is a portrayal of my feelings toward my home to people in Richmond who have never heard of Chattanooga. I painted a landscape of the view from Signal Mountain looking onto the downtown city, unraveled the canvas, and wrapped it around loose bricks from the sidewalks of Richmond. The main idea was that the viewer could not see the painting although it was still there, surrounded by culture that contrasts against it. In my original presentation, I showed a video of blank canvas being unraveled inside of the canvas frame on the wall (see the above link).
