Rema’s paintings and painted constructions show a system based on walking, time, the function of memory, mimesis, and how these ideas relate to the tradition of painting. Walking in urban and natural environments becomes a vehicle for focus and observation. The everyday experience of walking informs her process of making, and has lead her to develop an archive of visual moments that then becomes self-generative. She has created a system for making paintings out of the act of recalling visual observations from everyday experience, from previous paintings she has made, and from modern/contemporary paintings that she has seen and studied. Time, color, and material constraints control this process, but arriving at a painting is more important than the finished product.
