Cardinals & Drones 1 Print

I am a visual artist living and working between New York City and artist residencies. My work uses various media, referencing concepts and concerns over my own interpretations of the world. This can take the form of a dreamlike or simulated version of experiences, or a replay of something seen or heard. I’m influenced by places, instances, and the way we think about information as we receive it through both traditional and alternative methods. I find today's discourse violent and destructive and I am frightened by how that discourse conditions our perceptions. The subjects I incorporate into visual artworks get at this in roundabout ways. These can be objects or images that come off as noisy, repetitive, or unsettling. They can also be dark, weird, and problematic. I do enjoy referencing problems and behavior, and our relationship to technology. Specifically what the digital does to the physical, and the interplay between these two realities. Professor of Media Studies and Digital Arts.
