The title of this series is called “The Nine Days Wonder.” The meaning of this phrase dates before the seventeenth century and speaks to a thing or event that evokes a brief sensation, but soon loses its momentum with the common public. The nine painting series deals with transience and ephemerality. It also deals with the sort of precarious impermanence in my life momentarily. I am in a state of emergence. I wanted to place that rawness and unadulterated reality that these transitory events possess in the foreground. In the background of each piece is the contrast of silver lining and childlike reverie, void of time and in a lingering place. Folly lying in the wake of the tangible.
The foreground image is essentially the unromantic veritable, battling the surrounding archetypes of impractical reverie.
