Synecdoche: Visions of Midwestern Solitude

Synecdoche: Visions of Midwestern Solitude is an MFA Thesis Exhibition comprised of small-scale paintings of rural scenes that examine the way memory and perception is used in experiencing the landscape. By incorporating a method of nocturnal observation, the artist introduces an element of uncertainty to the viewer--a veiling of context and awareness. Seemingly recognizable locations become abstractions of personal experience, transforming them into vaguely familiar gestures of life in the Midwest.
