How We Knew

This textural painting enfolds both the past and the future in its many rich layers!

Nowadays we consult Google for information, but I recall a time when we sifted through news archives on microfiche at the library. I located some vintage microfiche and collaged it into this painting, along with a corner of a receipt I kept from my many travels to Japan. The microfiche represents recorded history, while the receipt marks the passage of time as a progression of specific transactions and events. Their inclusion in an abstract setting reflects how past moments collectively inform our future paths and possibilities.

The neutral, clean, cream and blue composition has a distinctly modern flair, ideal for collectors of contemporary abstract art seeking depth and narrative in their collection.

"How We Knew" is a mixed media (acrylic, oil pastel, microfiche) painting that measures 21.5" x 25.5" framed. It will arrive in a white wood float frame, ready to hang. It is signed on the back to accommodate hanging in different orientations.
