The Interference series of paintings & drawings explore the relationship between abstraction, human labor, machine logic, and perception in an increasingly screen-saturated world. These abstract artworks are grounded in a durational, meditative methodology in which repetitive mark-making functions simultaneously as gesture, discipline, and data. Through the incremental layering of translucent acrylic paint washes and accumulations of line-work created with brushes, paint markers, and calligraphy pens, these paintings enact a logic of emergence, where structure arises through repetition rather than predetermined design.
The series reifies the act of data representation in its broadest sense, and challenges viewers to ponder the magnitude of the waveforms that surround us, drowning us in a sea of invisible information, throughout our lives, and for all time.Tremors speaks at once to the microwave signals emitted by our cellular devices, to the ebb and flow of the earth’s oceans and even to the cosmic radiation that our brightest minds sift through, hoping to find some indication that we are not quite as alone as we may think.
