Artist’s Statement:
“I am compelled by the feeling that images are active and do more than represent – that they shape memory, attention, behavior, and collective experience. The images that recur throughout this program are ordinary – roads, public spaces, acts of consumption, and display. At times, these works hint at themes of identity, environment, control and surveillance, but ultimately they foreground image as material and process as subject. Through analog and digital processing, layering, distortion, repetition, and frame-by-frame arrangements, language becomes broken up and illegible, ordinary moments become reconfigured into unstable forms and fields of abstractions. A landscape is mirrored, a gesture becomes a rhythm, familiar fragments of commercial media become patterns of disruption. Images oscillate between document and apparition, observation and participation, familiarity and strangeness. Together, these works reflect an ongoing engagement with the ways images circulate through memory and contemporary experience—how they persist, repeat, mutate, and continue acting long after the moments that produced them have passed.”
