Artist Statement
My work explores a means of processing how our physical world and bodies are impacted and reshaped by our participation in a digital landscape while technology affects our identities, lives and experiences.
Through videos, paintings, online experiences, photography, telephone numbers, performance, sculpture and installation, I research and explore the tension between physical and digital iterations of identity and existence.
Included in this submission is 5 images from my SLUMPIES series over the last three years and 5 images of my very new body of work, TEXTURED PAINTINGS comprised of fabric and acrylic paint. I have included studio snap shots of these new works to show the new path I am taking by using industrial machines to compose these large 2d works in a very abstract manner, allowing myself to become an aid to the tool, letting the machine do whatever it wants rather than directing it. Most of my work as an interactive quality and positions itself as an approachable point of interaction for viewers or participants.
