Each of the five paintings shown dissolving was painted in 2-4 hours using oil paint. While the paintings were wet, I sprayed them with solvent, and recorded the disintegration. the metaphors that lie within are vast, but perhaps most profound is the temporary nature of life, and the importance of appreciating the lived moments as opposed to any preconceived desired outcome.
