Process Painting: Nature and Lineage
Born in Nuremberg, West Germany in 1972, Phillip Spinks has lived throughout the United States and Europe, experiences that continue to shape his work. Trained in engineering, creative writing, and archaeology at Boston University, he has worked as a painter and printmaker in Boston for over three decades. His series Recovering Memories emerged after Hurricane Katrina destroyed his family's homes and nearly all of their photographs. Using fragments of damaged images and objects, Spinks transforms loss into new meaning, exploring memory, absence, and the ways visual remnants preserve and reshape personal history.
