Untitled 230131 (detail) Print

My compositions are meant to stir a viewer's visual taxonomy—to activate and remix notions of imagery and meaning. I use abstract archetypal forms and illusory ground constructions to create a framework for self reflection and discovery with the hopes that others will engage with the work as I do and share common experience. The digital works I make are created from scratch “by hand” on a personal computer. The processes include digital facsimiles of drawing, painting and collage, as well as darkroom techniques like compositing, enlargement and color filtering. Many steps and layers are combined to create each unique image. My recent paintings and constructions are made using similar techniques creating pathways between the contexts of digital and analog mediums.
