Christine Bush Roman created 32 mixed media works on 22 x 30 inch archival paper for the Winter season. The works are constructed with acrylic paint, ink, colored pencil, graphite, fabric, and spray paint.
These paintings are a continued exploration of memory, and how memories change and shape us. When recalling a person, time or event, especially if many years have passed, I have the feeling of being half awake and reflecting on a vivid dream. I wanted these works to have that dreamlike spirit. Each piece has a landscape quality to evoke the feeling of taking a hazy journey through your mind. Dreams are like memories because there is always an element of fiction, a part of the story that our mind constructed. And like many significant memories, my dreams often feel both profound and silly. I tried to convey those feelings through these paintings. Each one is unique and expresses a different memory. - Christine Bush Roman
