Artist Statement: |
|
My paintings are made for a digital
world, but not one that exists purely online. The works explore a
space akin to daily interactions, which are often structured through,
and mediated by, a digital presence. I am interested in deconstructing
the binary of the digital and the physical. I draw from methods of
construction that root themselves in a digital language and apply them
to the traditional tools of painting.
Processes of drawing on Snapchat photos, rendering shapes in Photoshop
through layers, and abstracting palettes from video games or blogs are
pulled from the protocols of computer code, and applied to personal
and art histories to create images and objects that exist in an
awkward in between state. They exist as failures of digital processes,
while simultaneously acknowledging their limitations as a physical
presence. |
