You have reached the digital space for my fine art and collections. I have included selected pieces available for sale.
My art and designs are meant to create positive impact in the public space.
I purposefully create large format pieces that are meant to adorn spaces we live, work, commute, and thrive. In addition to being viewed in art galleries and private spaces, I want the messaging within my art to inhabit the public’s collective memories and experiences. My intention is to prompt personal reflection and inward contemplation to the viewer. This is pursued in both my abstract art and more direct imagery.︎Large Format Prints

Blankets series
This series can be displayed as high quality digital prints, but also exists in its completed woven blanket form.Print, Blanket
Inspiration & Concept: This series involves observing the comparisons in how my art is produced, displayed and interacted with. This loss of control in how the pieces are completed allows the process to incorporate inevitable changes to the art. Instead of the history and imagery in tapestries and quilting, there is a further translation and iteration of an already distorted image, now into a physical form.
Message & Meaning: intent and interpretation, loss of control, representation, history to tapestries, metal punch card chains
"…the loom expresses thought: it's weave is the language, with threads as words…"

PrintThis series portrays a relationship of digital corruption to painterly color fields.
The piece is meant to achieve the emotional depth and classical style of a physical painting.
Ultra vivid distortion, series of 4
Displayed in Philadelphia, 2017
Message & Meaning: what is art, ultra vivid distortion, reinterpret classics, delight vs. alarm, intentional modification
chimera series
PrintSold at Artrageous28!, Montserrat College of Art's yearly auction to benefit financial aid for students.
Inspiration & Concept: Just as the mythical creature is a composite of different animals, these Chimera works are created from the integration of disparate digital sources. The extra-large pieces of art were inspired by the experiment to to take a wide variety of content – from images and video to sound and text – and fuse them into a single, functioning files. The is intent to bring chaos in multiple forms together in a working cohesive whole.
Message & Meaning: failed digital synthesis, delight vs. alarm, representation of information, lo and behold
faces
PrintThe un·i·den·ti·fi·a·ble series of work began as an experiment: what is a portrait without identity? The core concept was to take a recognizable face and distort the image until the original is unrecognizable. "removing identities until the source is no longer seen."
Process & Technique: The process involves altering the dimensions within the file’s data, causing it to distort differently than changing the size in an editing program. This involves many layers of repeated editing, until the subject form is completely abstracted. The files are corrupted through manipulation, transforming faces into pure color and shape.

Message & Meaning: perception and representation, erasure of source, loss of identity, manipulating color and shape
forest
Video, Print30 minute duration
Inspiration & Concept: The Forest series is an immersive collaboration between the natural world and digital chaos. The work is inspired by the simple act of walking through the woods, now transformed into an ephemeral and contorted non-linear space. The viewer is meant to enter the video piece at any time, becoming an observer amid calm and jarring visuals and audio.
Process & Technique: This digitally manipulated piece was created using a precise and challenging process of digital manipulation. An extended thirty minute video of a forest walk serves as a challenge to manually corrupt the video and audio together. The difficulty in controlling the breakdown without completely destroying the source material is comparative to balancing the moments of a calm continuous narrative, being interjected with jarring and unsettling glitched sequences. The artist's capability in this medium requires deliberate control within a chaotic process.
Message & Meaning: nature vs. noise, witnessing change, delight vs. alarm, journey's peace and chaos
celebration
Video, PrintDisplayed at Parallel Frontiers, 2015
Inspiration & Concept: This series is a study in amplifying moments of simple human expression. The inspiration was to take a fleeting gesture from randomly chosen video content, and extrapolate its motion and energy. It brings to focus the force of motion and variety of effects and changes on video due to various actions.
Process & Technique: This process of work is high risk and highly selective. This process repeats the latent energy within selected frames, stretching a split-second action across the spread of a canvas. The resulting glitched imagery is a vibratory echo of the original movement, sometimes evocative, humorous, or chilling. Celebration is the altering of gestures into a powerful, abstract expression of motion.
Message & Meaning: freedom of expression, value in the abstract, preserved energy, power within action
goodbye friend
Video, PrintInspiration & Concept: This series is a deeper exploration of human connections and the disintegration of memory. It was conceived as an intimate, collaborative experiment with a dozen friends. The core idea was to capture a moment of stillness, knowing that the resulting content would be a visual extrapolation and intentional metaphor for personal detachment and the erosion of relationships over time.
Process & Technique: The process began with the subject's video portrait, where each sits still for a minute and a half. The file is then intentionally corrupted using changes in movement within the video. This distortion amplifies the subjects' slightest movements – subtle gestures become catalysts for a complete and beautiful visual breakdown, turning a static portrait into an broken or flowing cascade of color and form.
Message & Meaning: emotional detachment, fading of memories, inevitable loss
marfa
Video, PrintDisplayed at the New Art Center, 2016
Inspiration & Concept: This piece focuses on memory and environment; it explores the inevitable process of decay that affects both physical landscapes and the memories we hold of them. The process takes the view of a simple location and deliberately subjects it to the forces of slipped time and manual corruption.
Process & Technique: The process is a gradual controlled deterioration of both visual and audio tracks. As the video of the landscape slowly changes, the accompanying audio of Freddy Cannon's "Deep in the Heart of Texas" simultaneously becomes increasingly distorted and garbled. The piece is another journey into destruction, with the artist's hand composing the gradual breakdown of the file.
Message & Meaning: memory vs. nostalgia, cherished perceptions, lost in reality, beauty in corruption
doubled series
Printseries of twenty-nine
Displayed in Philadelphia, 2017
Inspiration & Concept: This series focuses on the sense of individualized dualism. The process forces two separate visual narratives to exist as one. This creates an image where two sources are merged, and in direct conversation with each other. The work explores the tension, friction, and unexpected beauty composed through coexistence.
Process & Technique: The creation of each piece begins by digitally stitching two images with their data and RGB color channels reading from both sources. The resulting interpretation between the two sets of data creates a unique layered visual. This intentional splicing process transforms the original photos into a single, complex image where both sources are simultaneously present and abstracted.
Message & Meaning: merged narratives, conflicting experiences, composition of reality, fragmented synthesis
floppies series
Printseries of twenty-nine
Displayed in Philadelphia, 2017
Inspiration & Concept: This series is a collaboration between the power of timeless literature, and the fragility of digital memory. Inspiration was taken from works of writings and translate its content into a new medium. By simplifying an image's coding to the limits of a story's words, the work reveals visual and structural patterns that exist within written language. The project is a retelling of literature excerpts as a piece of abstract art.
Process & Technique: The raw texts from a selection of classic books are used as the source code for an image file. This direct conversion transforms the narrative into a chaotic visual landscape. The finished abstract images are then saved onto colored floppy disks finalizing the process. The use of an obsolete storage medium adds a layer of physical and temporal weight, an object as both a modern art piece and a relic of a disparaged era.
Message & Meaning: preservation of literature, allegory and interpretation, outdated media
