Work
I am working within the tradition of painting, extending the expressive grammar and vocabulary of that ever evolving visual language.
​
This body of work explores the blurry terrain between the physical and virtual worlds we simultaneously inhabit. The interplay of these realms is made palpable as physical material is confused with digital representation and distortion: A piece of fabric melds into a its digital doppelganger; a torn page is confused with an image of ripped paper, illusions of three dimensions are intermingled with actual depth. All of this is woven into multilayered compositions I have constructed in a way that is loosely parallel to musical composition.

The muted tones of this piece allow for a complexity that would otherwise be overwhelming. It plays out in an a mixture of real and illusional depth. "Real" shadows interplay with replicas. This piece was intentionally composed of the sorts of rhythms, repetitions and variations characteristic of musical composition. Strong large scale structure contains and controls the smaller patterns and movements. It was made in the aftershock of the suicide of a very close friend and is dedicated to him.

Simultaneously I have been working on wall pieces that explore the same issues in a looser format. I enjoy the illusion that something is lit from within.

Illusions are woven into almost all of my work in one form or another. In this case it's a pretty straight forward play. In other cases the illusions are woven into more complex metaphorical composItions. For me uncertainty is fundamental.
