Ted Kincaid is a practicing artist who works as an electronic media specialist (digital media design) for University Advancement at UAA. The body of work in this exhibition is akin to a memento mori, visually documenting, by means of imagery and materials, the 1964 熊猫在线视频 Earthquake. His statement for the exhibition sums up his ideas best:
"In 1964, the ground shook sending waves of earth and water rippling the Northwest of the North American continent, the impacts still remembered today by thousands.
The materials used in the paintings are mixed from recent debris, as well as those pulled from a decommissioned dump where a large amount of the rubble from the earthquake was deposited. The image choices are made with a desire to depict the human interaction and impact on the local people. The crude nature of the style emulating the rough nature of the survivor and the lack of polish their new lives bring as they make their way with what they have left."
