Artist
Statement: |
|
My work is rooted in the moment of translation. As
information moves from one form to another, it is fundamentally
altered—reborn as something new. Inherently, this process is one of
abstraction, perpetually engaging the present, yet defying the ability
to be captured. As works of art slide back and forth between physical
objects, documented images, and through various dissemination
channels, the effects of mechanical, personal, and contextual
translations are made visible. But this visibility, a collection of
the conditions that are lost or gained, is a collapsing of the
abstraction—a translation made opaque.
The opacity is further obfuscated by the lack of precision in the
directional flow of the translation. Drawings come from digital
renders that come from digital images of paintings that come from
product templates, with compositions that evolve through in-progress
uploaded images, ensuring each painting will also produce the desired
source material for the future drawing. The confusion is intentional—a
strategy designed to strip the works of a hierarchy of chronology. The
different versions do not point to the previous or the next but
instead they point towards the center, to the moment of translation. |
