Rachel Citrino

The expiring art of painting and the emerging digital aesthetic allow me to go backward and forward at the same time culling images from my mind and my experience-my inherited memory of images as I review them in the present.

Inherited memories are alluring and more compelling than those that develop experientially.

There is a genetic past that wants expression--attention-and it finds its way into a perverse sensation of memory.

Not the voices of our ancestors but I believe their very memories too precious to relinquish at death and too valuable to the universe to dissipate they inspire a sensation of memory and weave their way into the fabric of our lives through a comfortable albeit fabricated familiarity.
