STATEMENT
"I am questioning the intersection between describing and un-describing as a means to exploring what you see visually. My interest lies in how much information is needed to respond to something representational derived from the real. The space is manipulated by flipping and varying applications of paint, distancing associations from the original image. The responsive matrimony between the real and not real guide my practice—can one remove the connection to the original image while still creating around its initial attributes?." - Alyssa Krause
