Douglas Degges - untitled (waiting for ideas) (walnut ink and gouache on paper, 8" x 6.25", 2020)
At a time when we have immediate access to anything, from instantaneous internet searches to capturing and storing digital images at a moment’s notice, analogue processes seem well poised for critically engaging newer forms of visual expression. In my own studio practice, I find painting to be a great vehicle for slowing down and reflecting on the speed at which images are produced and consumed. Recent projects explore relationships among the painted image, the painted object, and the printed photograph. Much of this work calls attention to the relationship between the image and the object that supports or contains it.
