Artist Statement
Oil on Canvas
This artwork addresses the theme of art and technology by combining photographic processes and painting. Through the initial application of photographic emulsion on canvas and exposing it to a negative, I create images that evolve through painting. The photographic images become part of the canvas, creating a sense of space that could not be otherwise achieved. The necessary experimentation that comes with this approach has generated various phases of development in seeking a resolved statement. In the last few months, my ideas have evolved in a series of landscapes; some of which use actual photographs to portray the effects of modern technology on the environment.
