Artist Statement : Scott Phillips

The work is about bodily memories, specifically and generally. Memories by chance
experience, while others are quite the opposite. I try to sync the memory visually in
terms of what is happening now, my world, compounded by the years of filters that have
grayed that memory. The remake of the memory manifests in the form of a painting as a
permanent entity both physically and emotionally. The initial emotional period is a search
for clarity of memories and the neglect of convention as a measure of individualism.
My process allows room for emotional engagement, which strengthens the bond
between self and painting.
