In “Two Sides,” traditional painting and digital imaging technology are interdependent; one can’t exist without the other in a mixed-media role reversal of the two art forms. Small acrylic paintings are made on a clear base the size of an old glass negative, which then becomes the carrier for an intensive process of high-resolution digital imaging. Magnification at near-microscopic levels reveals spontaneous, flowing interactions of paint that can only be seen when greatly enlarged.
Like glass negatives, there are two sides—therefore, two paintings. One is not a reverse of the other, but a completely different yet similar image, shown side by side: a front and a back. One purposeful, one serendipitous.
Scale & Hanging
The two images are presented large, side by side as mirror images.
