I think about all of the objects and the amount of preciousness they hold that keeps them all safe, there.  They were too heavy to drag along but too precious to throw away.

With incorporating antique papers into a contemporary context, I aim to visually bridge the gap between nostalgia and living in the moment.  I paint my contemporary figures in likeness of classic renaissance, highlighting our relationship to “ideas” of the past.
