My Artwork is about the unique way my dyslexic brain functions. My mind stores information visually, like snapshots from a camera. Each moment has the potential to become the core layout of an art piece, and the way my mind captures, retains, and retrieves memory informs the flow and style of my work. I choose abstraction because it documents feelings about each snapshot, which in turn, is more real to me than a photograph. Jacque Derrida dealt

with this abstraction in written language and how the written word changes in meaning over time, actually expanding to meaninglessness.  I see a parallel in my artworks as they expand beyond a single moment to morph or grow toward the deconstruction of that moment. However, I argue that my Artwork takes each moment and makes it more meaningful by the way my mind changes memories—adding or morphing details.  Sometimes it may even

mix past experiences and assumptions of future outcomes, which turns memories into something different than the original event.
