Built through layers of collage, distressed markings, faded typography, silkscreen remnants, texture medium, and hand-worked surface treatments, this mixed-media painting unfolds like an archaeological wall. Working within the language of palimpsest painting and symbolic assemblage, the piece explores the tension between concealment and revelation: old stories obscured beneath newer ones, identities partially erased yet still visible beneath the surface. A solitary blackbird appears within the layered field, less a central subject than a quiet keeper of passage, memory, and return. Balancing intuitive abstraction with eco-mystic collage aesthetics, the work exists between dreamscape, relic, and emotional architecture.
Erin Lofton built this painting in layers over a single silkscreen pattern by artist Peter Mars. Near the completion of the piece, Lofton selected a blackbird from Mars’s vintage image archive to to settle into the atmospheric composition of Two Dreams.
