Addressing the everyday, Vernon Fisher's multi-media paintings engage with a narrative conceptualism which, when placed over a deliberately misleading grid system, imply that the intent is an informational attempt to solidify meaning. Fisher positively dismisses this possibility via the fluid and interconnected juxtapositions of images and text, which undermine static and singular readings through a mixture of factualities, personal reflection and prognostication, memories and ruminations.
