New Day. New Painting.

Abstract

The thesis I’m presenting is an investigation of the perceptual experience of my day-to-day life as a student undertaking the graduate program at the University of Waterloo. It consists of observational paintings, which are organized into four groups detailing my home, the campus, my six-week research trip (June – July 2022) to Charleston, South Carolina, and the walk to my car—an experience that was interrupted when a stand of trees that seemed almost familial were unexpectedly cut down.
