JASON BRAMMER | “TIME MACHINES” Series: 2008 - PRESENT
“My “Time Machines” series is a collection of mixed media paintings incorporating 3-dimensional, sculptural elements. To create these paintings, I apply acrylic paints, plasters, and transparent glazes to the canvas (or masonite) using a combination of airbrushing and traditional painting techniques. I then mount attachments, such as antique or salvaged hardware, cables, and carved wood pieces, to the edges of the painting. Some of the pieces have new hardware or other constructed elements that I’ve aged to feel as if they were a century old. The attachments flow out of the paintings and into the “real” world, creating an illusion that blends reality with the painted imagery. Ultimately, I want my “Time Machines” to give the experience of glimpsing into another era, dimension, or lifetime.”
