Something Like This

These five paintings were part of a solo show called "Something Like This." I had been particularly interested in that point at which one thing becomes another thing. In this case, I was interested in that space when a panorama becomes a diorama becomes a theater set becomes a sculpture becomes a real thing. 

​

The first painting took its starting point from the Bourbaki Panorama. The other four paintings continued outward, on a tangent, moving further away from that very specific starting point. The paintings then functioned as backdrops for the set-pieces, taxidermed animals, sculptures of the gallerist's dog, viewers, and the actual dog. 

​

The show was filled with winter scenes and took place in January. It was important to me that gallery viewers be dressed in winter-wear to further blur lines between representation and actual.
