Abstract
This thesis traces my body of work produced throughout my BFA year both
conceptually and art historically. My work explores the artistic potential present in
prefabricated construction materials and familiar architectural spaces as a means and
source for the production of images and objects. The resultant artworks examine the
dialogue between memory, space, material, and representation through the language of
painting. By the superimposition of the pictorial onto the literal, the works examine
cognitive and perceptual dissonance, as well as visual and intellectual pleasure.
