Untitled, 2006

These digitally created images serve as expressions of introverted melancholic feelings in response to global civilization and human existence. Each of the images form their own quiet and ambivalent response to the vagueness of time, place and identity within the information age, as well as the globalized contemporary culture we live in.

Electronically generated, the large abstracted forms invoke both a sense of insignificance and futility as well as a contrary sense of beauty and complexity. The works from a process standpoint stand in opposition to the argued conflict between the linear interface of the computer and the expressive nature of abstraction. Being constructed entirely through electronic means, the works also further the breakdown of the recent historic dichotomy between the commercial design and fine art spheres, with digital imaging fully accepted the former and underappreciated by the latter.
