David Seltzer’s work experiments with the rawness of sensation and perception. He digests personal memory and visceral images embedded in his psyche through heavy manipulations of light and shadow, evoking the esoteric exposures and disquieting fixations unfolding in his own mind. The title of this abstracted piece derives from ingredients that enhance flavor or possess aromatic qualities, inviting the viewer to yield to sensory stimulation rather than strive for intelligible meaning.
