Lynn Heinz
“Unreliable Narrator”
Opening Sunday December 14th 3-5pm
Exhibition on view through January 5th by Appointment
There are always at least two sides to every story.
In fiction, an unreliable narrator refers to the person telling the story who is not doing so in a complete, accurate, or truthful way. This could be due to their mental or psychic state, their own biases, or perhaps they are bending the truth for their own purposes.
In my solo show, I am telling a story that is filtered through my own perceptions and interpretation of the source material. I have not sought to depict any reality that has ever existed in a consensual or historic space. The sources of all these images are varied and completely unrelated to each other: found photos, family photos, and ephemera i have collected.
Using oils and acrylics I interpret colors and emotions from old photos; I add elements to amplify the narrative, and leave out details that may be lost to memory. I may or may not, be telling you the whole story. And leaving much up to you to decide.
Is an “unreliable narrator” an analogy for our times? You can decide.
