It is my intent to create paintings that act as retinal reprogramming tools which amplify our capacity for digesting complex information.

The work is layered with systems and patterns, their effect situated underneath language, so as to better act on the mind and senses at a frequency outside the standard bandwidth. My aim is to provide a filter for the particular combination of speed and density that increasingly defines the texture of lived experience.

The impulse to save everything sits at the core of my work. A need to accumulate, stratify and dematerialize in my paintings comes directly from living with a parent whose obsessive-compulsive hoarding, over the course of years, spun slowly out of control. Watching the relentless compilation of massive amounts of worldly goods seemed like a system pushed past its limits to a new, fascinating place; part catastrophe, part epiphany. While the physical space of the home captivated me then, the spaces that intrigue me now are immaterial: the human mind and the internet. Referencing growth patterns, geology, metabolism, flow dynamics, cartography and imaging systems, I build paintings which suggest possible organizing principles cutting across these two, non-material spaces and through terrestrial space as well.

By building layers of intersecting, transparent structures upon infinite yet dematerialized imagery, I hope to establish a dynamic new set of terms for thinking about and living within virtual space. Overall, the intent is to create affective states in the viewer that lead to thinking visually in interpenetrating information fields which resonate equally between states of serenity and super-saturation.
