What We Make Makes Us
OKC artist Hank Ehrenfried makes paintings about observation, proximity and the mechanics of history.
In this Hyvemind mini documentary, Ehrenfried discusses his shift from abstraction to figuration, his collage-based process and the way his paintings explore how information reaches us.
Built from found images, secondhand books and layered references, his work reflects the strange, fragmented way we receive images, ideas and meaning in daily life.
