Artistic Statement
I employ a combination of hand made drawing, 3D computer programs, and Artificial Intelligence
alongside industrial and traditional painting techniques to develop an image and text-based
practice that interrogates the relationship between art and economics.
Through seriality, I reinterpret mental blueprints that shape our visual and mediated perception.
Incorporating conceptual archetypes, diagrammatic representation,
and textual repetition,
my practice reflects on the economic, sociological, symbolic, and linguistic frameworks that shape human emotion within systems of exchange and value and technological progress.
