Meaning in The Digital Age

The best moments of my life are when I forget myself. To make this a ritual I use chance, choice, and personal myth to find and then anchor myself through the tactile. For example, every several months I filter through hundreds and sometimes thousands of personal images as source material. This underscores that that through process, significance can be exhumed from an uncertain life in our Digital Age. Our use of images mirrors this reality and its revision. The Domestic Life series explores a common but an estranged home life. In isolation a spoon, solace from a wooden toy, and the mysterious in the mundane. My incessant pathology for meaning or idle hands, becomes the material of the work. Like Richter and his parallel series, in my Abstract series, I can collage, paint the collage, scan the painting, screen print it on fabric, etc. In effect, an exhaustive experience forms a personal memory that produces an artifact of self. So, when I am working, by forgetting myself to again find ‘the self’ in this age there are moments of perfect reality.

​Thank you for your time.
