An ImageThat I Have of Them
February 4-27, 2005

press release:

Gaston Bachelard wrote: "The house we were born in is more than an embodiment of home, it is also an embodiment of dreams. Each one of its nooks and corners was a resting-place for daydreaming."

Using the home as a starting point, this recent series of paintings selects snippets of memory of rooms and objects from my childhood in Leawood, Kansas. Each image carries with it strong personal associations, the combination of which feels a bit like a dream - random, but somehow meaningful.

Joseph Hu's work can also be seen this month in a group exhibition at Peng Gallery.
