Painting History / History Painting
By painting history through museum dioramas, I seek to represent representation rather than history itself. My careful and accurate paintings strategically fall short of the grand narrative tradition called history-painting and instead recall the amateurish, playful and naïve world of war games, illustration and toy soldiers. To this end, my paintings demonstrate something of the constructiveness of history and may allegorically suggest how our current military actions around the world may be represented in the future.
