Rizzo, Richard Joseph2007-05-152007-05-152007-05-152007http://hdl.handle.net/10012/3018The work in this exhibition is the result of philosophical contemplation and the concepts that followed from these moments. The moment that we find ourselves conscious, the moment in which we inhale or exhale is the focus of this work. Through the materiality and physicality of paint, I explore this moment. Paint thus acts as a metaphor for my body, having set parameters that dictate its cause and effect. The very nature of painting; its essence, is the moment of state change from a fluid material to a solid state. I use the method of process and tools that I invent to help express these concerns of eternal recurrence. I make paintings that make space visible and invisible.54673437 bytesapplication/pdfenPaintingPhilosophyMaster ThesisStudio Art
