ARTIST STATEMENT: -
Rebecca Kressley documents her examination of what fascinates her, and her attempts to describe what has always denied identification. Her process of making art is derivative of how she navigates through the world: she gleans from a random source of materials and modes of information in order to somehow present, or articulate, her subject matter. Kressley makes apparent a broad range of influence in each of her artworks, yet certain themes are large enough to maintain a consistency: imagining mortality, the passing of time, the moment of impact.
