This series of oil paintings entitled Reverie, explores how the human mind can wonder into new creations from a single image. All these paintings are derived from continuously zoomed in aspects of the smallest, initial composition. Reverie, meaning “a state of imagining or thinking about pleasant things, as if you are dreaming,” describes the viewers experience of being drawn into a work, subconsciously creating their own worlds within the image in front of them. This body of work is a display of what thoughts and visualizations can be triggered in one’s mind, as they peer closer into the details of a painting. Thinking more broadly about this concept, begs the question of what miniscule elements lie within our daily lives, going unnoticed until we’re willing to see them.
