Lost Divers

BY Josh Dorman

“In the same way that dreams do not match reality yet contain an internal logic, I combine elements in an intuitive way, seeking relationships of form and color. The process guides me and I trust the ideas and narratives in my subconscious. Between apocalypse and paradise I seek metaphors for human hubris…. But, as much as I want visual harmony and a narrative for myself, I also want the paintings to be a project and a puzzle for the person looking.”
