Artist Statement

Everything we know about is changing all the time. Paintings fade and crack. Trees fall, new growth springs up. Technology is evolving at an accelerating pace. And each of us is a constant work in progress, never static, never still.

In my work, I use computer processing to manipulate painted and filmed images, placing them in a constant state of flux. I project dynamic video onto prepared surfaces such as painted canvas. My new media installations are simultaneously filmic and painterly. I create moving paintings which look different every time you see them.

I strive to expand our experience of painting through collaborative and technological practice. This is both my goal and my method of artmaking. I try to express the creative potential made omnipresent by the evanescence inherent in our experience of this universe.
