HALOS & DUST
The Art of Thomas Canney
Artist Statement:
The inspiration for my work is drawn from society’s traditional gender roles as well as common and indelible lessons from childhood. Both the process and final work is strongly influenced by feelings of nostalgia, humor and loss. I am particularly interested in how we grow both collectively and as individuals, shedding idyllic fantasies, the naivete of youth and customs of the past.
We live in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving world that is discarding the formalities, innocence and staid institutions of post-war America; a period often considered “The Golden Age”. I see my work as deteriorating billboards of these antiquated fables; reflecting messages that no longer make sense or are not relevant to our contemporary consciousness. We may recognize these stories and pictures, but they are now perceived as hopelessly outdated and even amusing. I see my work is a reflection of this confusion and loss. These disappearing social lessons and antiquated mores for better or worse, define the reality of the fleeting time we actually exist and influence the people around us.
Through the process of manipulating drawn, painted and appropriated images, I strive to understand certain truths about my personal idealogies and attractions. I often return to the defining period when transformation occurs from childhood to adolescence; the fixations and fears of our “formative” years when others shape our perception of right and wrong, good and bad. This process allows me to ponder and perhaps reconstruct the ghosts of anonymous lives lived and ultimately forgotten.
