Brutalism • Reimagined
Brutalist architecture is one of the most controversial styles of architecture to exist. It’s what people imagine when they think about what a prison looks like, with its cold and imposing exterior. Brutalism is also what people typically picture when they think of government buildings or schools built in the 1950s-1960s.
Brutalist style is known for its heavy, imposing appearance. If there’s one word that can sum up the entirety of brutalism, it’s the word “concrete.” The style came as a response to the sleek and polished Moderne style popular during the early 20th century.

Suprematism is an early twentieth-century art movement focused on the fundamentals of geometry (circles, squares, rectangles, triangles). The term refers to a form of abstract art based upon "the supremacy of pure artistic expression" rather than on a visual or literal depiction of objects. It is entirely subjective and gives room to the artist to present what they think or perceive versus what they may see.

If memory is anamnesis, bubbling and flowing out of times and things we easily recall, “rememory” is more arduous...like suddenly finding a hole in the dam that had shut some memories away, painfully just out of reach, blurred shadows once vibrant and colorful that we think we should know but now are not quite familiar, forgotten notions in a box on some dusty back shelf of our experience.
In real time I am watching dementia reduce my father’s 94 years to little more than momentary glimpses of a time near high school in a town where the people have no faces and that he knows only as Somewhere. This esteemed professor, this lifetime student of history seems to not know his own beyond short scripts that are like handrails as he navigates the stairs to a Somewhere that looks increasingly like nowhere in particular.
The work Rememory was created during a recent visit with him where his mind may have struggled to remember my name but his large heart granted assurance. It is deliberately bright and colorful, a moment I want to remember, a moment of recognition that the affliction he now bears may one day be mine to carry, and that I want each piece of art I create to serve as my own handrails for one day when I may need them. I love you, Dad.

I have just started "colouring in" some of my abstract work, i.e. adding new colours to the original shot. There are some fantastic colour abstractionists here on flickr working like that and they are a constant inspiration to me. Please pay a visit to the uncrowned queen of colour abstracts, caeciliametella.
