Artist Statement for "Watching Velocity Dry":
Currently working with technology in relation to drawing/painting and the figure/body. The work involves dialectics (exchange of conflicting ideas) encompassing the processes of haptic (hand made), ocular and digital image making.
The result of this dialectic attempts to bridge and or blur the pictorial spaces of physical paint processes with the dematerialization of Photoshop. Ultimately the work explores a reaffirmation of painting/drawing in relation to the ambivalence of technology.
The subject matter that culminates within the work references corporeal entities, mutations, cell division, systems, patterns, or spectacle. Overall the work’s imagery and processes becomes a metaphor for the cultural impact of technology in and on the body and the way the body feels and perceives.
In the end it is my hope that the fusion of a painter’s sensibility with Photoshop will slow down or offer a subtle resistance to the sonic production and consumption of digital imagery.
