Artist Statement
I am interested in altering the modes of communication to which
I am subjugated. My work is about exploring a dialogue between
the ever-burgeoning digital feed and traditional representations
of communication, symbology, and identity. I zoom in on familiar,
banal, or commonly overlooked elements found in ubiquitous
digital streams of visual information, take these fragments
apart and mash them back together into new structures. New
possibilities are then discovered. Additionally, I refer to a vast,
visual library of forms and symbols I have created through a
contemplative daily drawing practice. I will introduce drawn
fragments to new structural possibilities by experimenting with
scale, material, and the proportional relationships between
drawing, digitization, and painting.
