Childhood memories never happen exactly as we remember them. Time and outside influences cause those memories to evolve into something our minds have fabricated.

The black and white images were lifted from found 8mm filmstrips that have been covered with various mediums. This method is intended to be the physical embodiment of the process a person’s brain undergoes to alter a childhood memory.

My figural paintings provide a catalyst to disconnect myself from being a middle class American in the twenty-first century to a world engulfed in a brilliant color palette. I entertain a style of painting that takes classical subject matter and explores different color combinations to create an off-kilter realm of being. Drawing out the crimsons and oranges hidden in the figure’s highlights along side the deep ceruleans and viridian greens, I bring forth a reality of my own imagination

Chris Knight

From the depths of his lair, dimly lit by a sourceless luminescence, Chris Knight adorns canvas with pigmented oil. Locked away, with only tomes written in forgotten tongues as company, he projects his indirect understanding of the surface world in the form of mythic imagery. Forever lost to the land of men (and women, as he reasons), his legend is poorly understood by scholars.

I always recite the story that my first exposure to art is when my mother showed me how to draw a butterfly when I was a little girl. Since, then I have been hooked on art. I’ve been at art school since the fifth grade. Over the years my interest in art grew, waned, and shift. For instance, I used to love to draw Sailor Moon, only drawing with a graphite pencil, and I only draw with pastels. Currently, I’m very fascinated with photography and digital distortion. My artwork reflects how my interest varies. The weirdest things inspire me and it shows.

My whole life I’ve searched for balance. I’ve always said it’s the little things in life that make it so lovely. The three properties of water, the smell of cypress wood when you carve it with a chisel. These things cannot be duplicated, but more importantly they shouldn’t be ignored. This is what I portray in my work: a balance between my observations and the emotions they create. A friend asks me what materials I work with, and I reply ‘anything,’ since I work with whatever medium best fits the idea. It is for this reason I did not strive to be apart of the BFA program. My ‘B.S.’ degree means the world to me. It gives me the freedom to express what I want to, and be the artist I am. The last thing I want is for another person to tell me what I’m supposed to make art out of. Let me work with sticks I found in my yard and then play with fire in the welding cage. It’s the balance between my passions and my energy that lead me. My only desire is for my art to be viewed with an open heart and open mind because that is how they came to be in the first place.
