A History of Things I Remember But Will Never See (2007)
  A History of Things I Remember but will Never See (2007)

These are portraits of people watching, painted from photographs of events in our recent historic memory. I wanted to bring into focus the shadowy faces at the edges of these iconic photos, this almost abstract record of witnesses to major historical events. The installation is a new crowd, looking at us looking at them.  
 
         
       
 

0ther People's Memories (2007)
  Other People's Memories (2007)

I traveled around New York, asking people if they had any memories that were frozen in time, like a snapshot, and if they could draw this memory for me.  
 
         
       
 

Untitled Events (2005-2006)
  I think a lot about this intricate string of little moments that make up our lives. We could freeze the moment at any point and the narrative of our lives could veer off in another direction. These paintings are about that moment.
