Time Travelers, 2016

I began this painting by using a recycled photo of a son and his mother—I wanted to link the past to the now and onto the future. My intention is to depict remnants a sign painter might have in her shop in the early 1900’s. Adding rough text requires the viewer to “stop” & look at this unknown and somber family. To give it depth and bring the piece back to the future, I painted geometric elements that suggest Euclidian depth and a teeny bit of illusion.
