Since 2000, the Summer of the Pandemic, Trevor Segraves’ paintings have become introspective and nostalgic with recurring themes of childhood and childhood dreams. At times they reference the disturbing absurdity of curret affairs. Images of his childhood toys, notebook origami, memories of pop culture and classic art come together to create a new narrative. Notebook origami is used to evoke schoolboy dreams of far off adventures and journeys, while the toy paintings, many depicting the death of Howdy Doody, represent the death of American innocence or a change in the collective knowledge of what America is.
