Simultaneity and succession directly reflects the world I live in, where information and data are streamed relentlessly, through email, television, YouTube. I am attracted by the lack of hierarchy and repulsed by the lack of critical evaluation of this data by the consumers. All information is equal and the illusion of democracy is pervasive. Abstraction allows me to create that sense of democracy, merging digital tools with traditional drawing and printmaking to create forms and patterns from aerospace imagery, genetic sequencing, viral strands and astral patterns that flow together, overlap, merge and over saturate the viewer. Simultaneity - deep space and shallow space, high and low, recognizable things and the abstract - all of these arguments in one space, at one time, mutating as they go along.
