“I think of my collage-like, painted images as browser pop-ups and I draw upon compositional clichés and visual conventions we encounter when interacting with screens: icons, endless interfaces, a compacted depth of field, cut-paste image-overlay, and so on. It seems impossible to produce a twenty-first century painting that is not informed by digital images, given that our contemporary understanding thereof is inexorably shaped by and tied to their existence in cyberspace, though we only spend fractions of a second with some of the images we see on screens.”
