The Disturbance painting were based on photographs taken at night. The camera’s settings were not adjusted to the dark, so at first the images appeared black. I then opened it in editing software and increased their brightness, pulling forms from the shadow.
Some information in the photographs could not be retrieved through editing: being shot in low light, it was lost in a mist of digital noise. In dealing with a personal loss in 2021, I became interested in the fragility and fraudulence of memory. The faults in the photographs undermine the veracity of the medium and makes it more akin to memory.
