Thomas Berding: Projections in the Deluge builds paintings from cultural and personal ephemera — junk mail, web search screenshots, iPhone snapshots, Midwestern vernacular imagery — layered with collaged paint skins and palette remnants. The resulting works carry visible traces of their own making, dense with references organized by an idiosyncratic logic that resists fixed interpretation. Responding to contemporary information overload, Berding positions painting as a space where memory, loss, and recovery converge to construct imagined futures from the material of the past.
