Exhibition: Jamais Vu

“There’s an opposite to déjà vu. They call it jamais vu. It’s when you meet the same people or visit places, again and again, but each time is the first. Everybody is always a stranger. Nothing is ever familiar.” & Chuck Palahniuk

“Like a word on a page that you’ve printed and read a million times, that suddenly looks strange or wrong, foreign. And you feel scared for a second, like you’ve lost something, even if you’re not sure what it is.”  & Sarah Dessen

We are all human; we are intimately familiar with the most basic features of being human.  And yet, I am sure many of you have stared at yourselves in a mirror to the point of losing hold of your own image; you have been taken aback by how you become a stranger to yourself.  My work explores the shifting nature of time, place, concept, reality, and paint.
