I’m interested in images – who makes them, how they move, and how they are received. My exploration involves the painted image and Abstraction to consider how we subjectively alter, conceal, and fragment information. The initial paintings come from a search for structure. They end when they take on their own systematized logic, becoming networks or conglomerates. From there, I impose new systems, manipulating a manmade image through photographing, scanning, printing, folding, bundling, and wrapping to observe the loss and gain of information.

This process is innately attached to power, our current post-internet condition, and a history of abstraction. Questioning this power, beckons the initial question: who makes the images? And how are they received? Performance becomes a tool to answer the politics of the image more explicitly – considering the role of maker/painter and the consumer/ viewer.
