“My paintings reference networks, computers, and contemporary architecture. I am interested in preserving the creative struggle, history of mark-making, and accidents by layering transparent color, thin paint blown with compressed air, and drips that all overlap to form a matrix-like web that alludes to data, social networks, and fantasy worlds.”
