Company Paintings
Company Paintings synthesize experiences in India and Syria. The series title comes from the term for works commissioned by the East India Company to document India at the turn of the century. Paralleling this visual, serial documentation each painting is titled after a remote Indian city and its numerical telephone area code. The entire series was done using only four different silkscreens printed in different combinations. The surfaces are slightly raised and tactile, created by screening high gloss enamel and matte oil paint through very porous screen meshes.
