Defragment IV Print

The initial concept for this piece was really started through a series of Artworks titled defragmentations. After along period of illness and surgery, I was in a situation where I had to reconnect with my Art and try to reconstitute the broken pieces together again. (it describes the process of reordering data in a more efficient and economical manner from a digital device) Working on proposals for large projects such as this one, I often look at artists of the past for inspiration and direction. I was looking specifically at the assemblies by Malevich’s arkhitekton models and the iconic Schwitters’ Hanover Merzbau. In my mind these pieces represent the complexities of the mind they are analytical and geometric but also through their complexity they can generate an emotional response. Many of my works have a modular approach assembled components used to create a construct my visual compositions: A sort of lyrical constructivism. They are sensual and at the same time conceptual images that play with the space and interspace between media and materials. They are based on rectangular grids but the ultimate idea behind his works is the break from the perfect, even and regular web of life.
