My art is influenced by science and technology and how it connects us through both neural and virtual networks to create a collective consciousness. The computer functions as both the subject and co-creator. I use search engines to source imagery and create computer-generated forms, which then get translated into paintings. The larger paintings can take months to execute. I have developed unconventional painting techniques, which involve cutting complex stencils, using rollers and pouring paint to achieve a multitude of surfaces. I also experiment with sculptural forms and installations incorporating painting, drawing and found objects.
