On View
Not on view• Burial is the artist’s personal retelling of his uncle’s drug-related death in Los Angeles.
• The artist has said that the set of nine lithographs have no specific order or sequencing.
• The prints in the series appear like collages. Creightney wrote: “Collage is integral to my process. … Working in this way, I make cut-and-paste hybrids where flowers become figures in the landscape, and dreams of paradise morph into dystopian nightmares.”
• The artist described his process in this way: “I start with paper. I cut it directly from old books. I cut up prints that I create in various media. I use the scraps left from paintings before. I paste [them] on canvas, wood or thicker pieces of paper to create fields of information. Then I work back into these initial backgrounds with paint, then more collage. Eventually, imagined landscapes emerge from the chaos. Worlds built from remnants.”
