Faith-Ann paints with images - layering elements of photos she has created over the years into dynamic digital compositions that recreate the somatic sensation of memory. “I started creating these digital photo collages a decade ago because they seem to reflect memory and the unconscious mind better—how our thoughts are interwoven with so many visions and emotions. I layer a photo of grandmother’s old kimono fabric which reminds me of her, with a photo of the trail of clouds in the sky after she passed, over photos of my own abstract paintings in mourning of her; layers and layers of memory and meaning that shape into starbursts of sensation and feeling.”

Faith-Ann’s compositions often feature universal, elemental symbols, such as sun, moon, water, and air, natural phenomena that serve as meditations on our inner connectedness, the ephemerality of our time here, and the urgency to reconnect and regenerate our relations with the earth, and each other, rather than continually destroy and destruct it and each other.
