My painterly work blends many different tools to observe artifacts that rest at the perimeter of digital and physical systems. I am particularly interested in the transition of digital information into material form. Through photo editing, 3D modeling, printing, projecting, and painting, I frame moments when digital tools reshape painterly spaces. In my recent paintings, I use a resist between films of acrylic to create a photoshop image layer system out of paint. This work emerges from an exchange between digital editing tools and analogue mediums. Through this process, the boundaries between digital concepts and material conditions are revealed.
