“I am interested in how buildings and architecture become expressions of the people living in them. I often take walks and roadtrips to find new imagery, and combine different buildings, places and memories. The front-facing vernacular facades of apartment buildings and corner stores frame rows of windows, sometimes scattered with satellite dishes or mismatched shutters. Some have vibrant curtains, others fully closed vinyl blinds. Some lights are on, some off, some have pink grow lights. Each is a passing glimpse into someone’s life. The paintings are a montage of both imagined scenes and memories collaged with actual places and buildings.
The interiors of the windows are painted from life in my apartment. The windows look outwards to a parallel building with a mirroring set of windows. Objects are scattered on the windowsills, generally things of escape and distraction reflective of the times—half-crushed beer cans, a cell phone with Spotify open, dystopian novels.” -MH
