Becca Kallem
I am interested in painting as looking and as touch, and as a way to show uncertainty and equivocation. I want my paintings to be whole but unfinished, to stay open as if they might continue to change and shift, to slip at the edges. Where does a figure end and the background begin? For me, this ambiguity relates to memory, the transition from childhood to adulthood, sexuality, and constructions of femininity and masculinity. My recent motifs include decoration, clothing, and the body.
