In recent work I continue to investigate the idea of painting as a means for defining the present moment. Tropes of late modernism prevail, while through the labor intensive process of taping and repetition, I move into a theatrical space invoking postmodern concerns.

In my master_slave series I refer to the programming language of digital technology, as well as to my own troubled relationship with paint. Excess is accumulated in objects that continue to proliferate in my studio.

In his 2011 book,The Future of Art in a Postdigital Age, Mel Alexenberg defines "postdigital art" as artworks that address the humanization of digital technologies through interplay between digital, biological, cultural, and spiritual systems. It is my intention to provide the means for the beholden to experience the work within these notions.
