Skipt Antenna by Russell Shoemaker

Skipt Antenna by Russell Shoemaker

Presented by Haw Contemporary Gallery at Haw Contemporary Gallery

Jotted down thoughts; sketched recollections of people and places never likely to be seen again; rocks ejected from crumbling structures (ancient or modern); and litter-like neon and discarded bottle caps all create flickering glimpses of biography.

History and scattered memory establish image and shape as lexicon; the present builds on the past establishing resolution in nonlinear recall.

Following spectral remnants through the process of obstruction and construction, I allow each layer to inform my composition through sanded down surfaces. Competing inclinations, throughout the process of painting, exist to build up or tear down, to under or over-inform its specificity or obscurity in an attempt to solidify together hazy fragments.
