A collection of paintings that point to disturbances, unease, and alarming problems are assembled in a quiet room in the back of the gallery. There is tension between the ordinary and the superlative, between what is natural and artificial. I am examining how bemusedly liminal our physical and digital spaces have become. In an era where the boundaries between fantasy and reality blur, we recognize ourselves witnessing and engaging with the overwhelming noise—sometimes in person, often through the screens of our phones.

I create a painterly language that emphasizes the hybridization between our physical and digital experiences. I replicate, imitate, and steal digital visual languages to express how confusing and lost it can feel to operate in a world that is both super connected and isolating, mediated through a screen. The algorithmic ways of processing information through coding and keywords seems rather abstract to me, even unintentional or misunderstood. My work sutures digital efficiency and painterly inefficiency through physical marks and colors that are rambunctious, fiery, and ambiguous in their effect. There is tension between the ordinary and the superlative, and between what is natural and artificial. I examine how bemusedly liminal our physical and digital spaces have become.
