“Photos from the Green Box”. In this series I was inspired by vintage (1950s-1960s) color photography I found on various instagram accounts . During this time period of the 50’s/60’s color photography was finally accessible to non professional photographers and captured vibrant and muted colors of the times trends. They are truly a journal of that time passed. There is a lightness about many of these photos, an innocence, a playfulness, a simpleness that I feel has been lost in some parts of our current society. I have gone through them for months and found the ones I have been most drawn to paint. In this figurative series I do not go into great detail of the figures, rather a painterly looseness and a less obvious idea of what they look like, rather more for the viewer to be drawn into the shapes and colors I found intriguing. In the end, it is a time travel of sorts, for us to travel there but for them to also come and meet us in the design of our modern world.
