Artist Statement:
Livingston currently creates two distinct bodies of work
1. Multi-media installations to present immersive image, sound, and text-based auto-fiction. In this work the expansive West/Midwestern United States with its system of highways and long-distance car travel are locus points used to present a splintered American memoir that moves back and forth in time.
2. Non-narrative color oriented abstract paintings influenced by early modernism, psychedelia, outsider work, and Tibetan and Hindu art
