Randy Hayes
"If Memory Serves"
September 1 - October 29, 2016
First Saturday Art Walk October 1, 6-8pm
For our fall exhibition, Themes+Projects presents, “As Memory Serves” by American artist Randy Hayes. The exhibition contains a combination of large scale installations, created by grids of
painted photographs, that are mounted to canvas or meticulously pinned to the wall. Hayes inspiration began years ago, while exploring his photographic contact sheets. Feeling that the sheets served as narrative memory, Hayes experimented with methods of painting a primary images over a grid of photographs. To him, the images under the painted surface appear, or fade away, in the same way of his own recollections.
