Allusions explores the volatile nature of intimate relationships by revisiting and
recovering my memory of dramatic experiences in my own intimate relationships then
translating them into painted psychological scenes. These scenes are activated by
symbolically charged objects and interrupted by openings or portals serving as points of
entry or exit. The people involved are referred to by pieces of carefully chosen furniture
situated in a space that has shifting perspectives and illogical planes, referencing the
complexity of memory and the subjectivity of experience. Discordant color, texture, and
layered information are used to heighten the drama of the moment. These painted panels
and ceramic structures are a manifestation of my mental processing of interpersonal
exchanges and remembered experiences through the development of a unique visual
vocabulary in paint. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
