Débile

5-piece series, Oil paint & found objects on wood panels

13 x 15 inches

Inspired by the Caretaker’s Everywhere at the End of Time and Ivan Seal’s album covers, this series depicts the different stages of dementia. The first two pieces represent Pre-dementia stages. The third piece is the intermediary stage leading to full onset dementia stage 4, and finally death. The surrealistic compositions depict nostalgic, incomprehensible objects. Although the subject is physically present, their perception of reality is nothing more than jumbled fragments of memory.
