Redux
"Redux" (30 x 30") explores the act of returning—revisiting, reconsidering, seeing anew what we thought we knew. This painting emerged from layers upon layers, each one partially obscuring what came before while allowing glimpses through to earlier passages.
Working with oil paint, I built up veils of warm golds, oranges, and rose that hover above cooler blues and teals. The horizontal banding suggests stratified memory, like geological layers or sediment deposited over time. Some marks are crisp, others dissolve into atmosphere. What's fascinating is how the painting holds both clarity and obscurity simultaneously—you can almost see through to what lies beneath, but not quite completely.
"Redux" refers to something brought back or restored, often in a new form. This painting embodies that concept—returning to familiar territory but seeing it differently, finding new meaning in what seemed exhausted or complete. Each viewing reveals something previously hidden, just as revisiting our own experiences unveils layers we hadn't noticed before.
Viewers will experience their own "redux" moment, finding something familiar yet transformed.
