Toshie McSwain+Darren Johnson, manifest, 2020, video

"manifest" reflects the trappings of a romantic entanglement. Masks worn to hide and deceive, mirages of false prospects/gratification,and morphic mirrors sought to reflect what one wants to see.

 

Toshie McSwain b.1984, Detroit, MI; lives and works in Las Vegas, Nevada

Multi-media, acrylics and ink

Dreams and developmental milestones are depicted through layering and staining to create visual imagery that has a dreamlike quality of being familiar, and at the same time, indiscernible.
