Tom Howes, Watercolor with Pen and Ink

There are certain things that I am witness to or familiar with that resonate in my mind and in my work. Memories, subjective ideologies, objective observations, artifacts from the news, and the minutiae from everyday life are addressed in a common place – on paper. This work, from a larger series entitled, Hope for the Best, investigates these unrelated fragments and forces them together, resulting in visual nonlinear chronologies.

My work incorporates layers of photography, painted imagery, and works that are all scrambled together, much as thoughts all lead one into the other. The audience must sort through layers of stuff to find fleeting ideas and blips of language, then extend their own efforts to complete the puzzle.
