Selected Work
Process:
“From laser cutting stencils, UV digital printing, incorporating printmaking, using projections, to forcing AI hallucinations, painting has always been a format to import into.”
Double Walker Oil, aerosol, and digital print on canvas over panel. 2019, 56” x 46”
“Surface and application are of huge importance to the experience of viewing my paintings. I don’t make these paintings for screens, I make them to hit you physiologically the way live music does.”
