Fascinated with the histories of places, and the physical and implied traces that they leave behind, he transposed this experience into his painting, which incorporates found materials, built up surfaces, and imagery that vacillates between the legible and illegible. Perlman often works on a large scale, and tends to paint with a subdued range of colors, but with pigments that create luminous effects. Contact: Gaye Chan, 956-5249,gchan@hawaii.edu.
