Round 2 Every painting has a story that the gallery never sees. Hours and hours of work go into the curation of visual elements on a canvas. I aim to make the history of my work fully transparent. I have created two of the same painting, on two separate canvases, and have photographed both paintings at each step of the process. I then compiled the images into a looping video, showing the journey the canvas has taken. The image blooms to completion several times along the way, and then recedes to its first strokes and its blankness. I present the canvases along with the video, made blank once again. The whitewashed canvases are merely the physical traces of the piece; the video is is the visual record of the piece. Through concealing the painted canvases and showing the video, I create pieces that reveal their full identity.
