Payton Shoup
[BFA] Painting
In my series “Memory of Memory,” I use the power of nostalgia to evoke cherished memories from my childhood spent in my grandmother’s house. These paintings are a tribute to the ordinary items, and games that were an integral part of my upbringing. Each one is reimagined through paint and brought to life on small, square panels. At the same, I select a board game as an outline and aim to inventory the access points of these memories through multiple channels. Painting each piece with vibrant colors, I breathe new life into the familiar and invite you to reminisce with me.
