The tension between a digitally networked, screen-based experience of the world and a physical, more tactile experience has never been more acute. By combining painting on canvases with screens, stereos and salvaged electronics and materials, my works reflect the disorientation of the moment. The painted portions function as images but also as symbols of oil painting itself — pointing toward painting's capacity for slowness, its complicated history and its unique physical presence. I frequently integrate imagery inspired by and borrowed from archetypal Renaissance and Baroque as well as deeply personal subjects and digital artifacts. In an algorithmic age, a time of diminishing faith in contemporary images and media, art-making for me is a way to meditate on how we might reclaim a sense of human agency and physical presence.
