Monotypes (2020-2021)
My monotype process generally involves painting on glass, then pressing paper against the glass to make prints.
Searching For Lachin, 2022
Oil monotype on paper.
49 x 76 cm.

A Lachin-like landscape of rolling green hills, silvery mountains, and red rooftops. Due to the presence of landmines, I could not travel to Lachin with Yusif Mirza. Instead, I learned about Lachin through his stories, paintings, and photos. The monotype technique turns the landscape into a ghostly impression, like my vague mental image of the place.

Sick Party II, 2021
Digitally altered monotype.
I created an oil monotype based on Sick Party, then scanned it and altered it in Photoshop. I converted the file into .RAW and altered the bitmap in a hex editor, resulting in ghostly digital distortions. See: databending.

Darwin (ghost), 2020
Oil monotype on paper.

In my monotype process, a painting exists for a while, you make an imprint of it, and the painting is wiped away. The chaotic tributaries bring to mind genealogy, lineages, and organic structures. After a photo by Leonard Darwin.
