MACROWE

A series of very detailed artwork where the artwork is much larger than the subject or a small section of a much larger object is magnified.

A body of work emerged that focused on the macro view of subjects. I would zoom in on specific areas of interest within the subject knowing I could translate these areas into compositions on larger canvases using paint. This process of enlarging smaller parts of subject allows for a new interpretation of subject that would be otherwise hidden from the viewer’s eye.

Often, my work cannot be contained by conventional scale. There’s a pleasant play on canvas sizes – sometimes a small flower or candy blown up to disproportionate scale on larger canvases, while larger scenes may be shrunk to be suspended in smaller frames.
