Catalogue Note
I like for you to be able to totally believe in the painting but then know that it stops at the edges, and going back and forth between something that feels real but that you know is basically talking about abstract painting. I like being able to have that kind of back and forth of yes and no. So the framing kind of pulls you in without really asking the viewer to be in it because you already know where you stand. It’s mimicking the idea of the painting like again here’s another border so there’s the actual border and then there’s another one that’s inside. - Shara Hughes
