From Marjolyn,
“Untitled (Could Should Would)” 2011. Printed canvas, dimensional acrylic. 12″ x 18″
“My recent work focuses on short one-to-two sentence anecdotes represented through text, and furthers what my previous body of work began to mean to me. In my previous body of work, I depicted items that were important to me as I was growing up through the use of house paint in order to create a nostalgic feeling. In my most recent series, I use both figurative imagery and imagery that is not quite abstract, but is also not figurative, in order to highlight what my text is saying. The imagery I choose tends to relate to childhood memories, while the anecdotes I use may remind one of their teenage years – this juxtaposition brings about a quite adult recognition of experience. I have also begun to use single words as the focal points of my work, and their presentation also speaks about the many types of feelings those words can invoke.”
