Alicia Munro’s paintings explore the complex relationship between media and memory. Through the act of painting, source images ranging from personal snapshots to film stills and news photos are reduced to their most basic forms, and any sense of the photograph as a ‘true’ document becomes compromised by the subjective exploration and reinterpretation of its formal elements. The personal and the mediated collapse and become indistinguishable, and memory constructed through image and referent triumphs over objective or coherent history. What remain are dreamlike and often arbitrary landscapes that float between realism and abstraction, depicting the fluidity of space and time.
