Return to conventional aesthetics in some regards. Regular surfaces, formal explorations.
2019
Found objects, irregular surfaces, distorted figures, 21st Century pigments and materials. Supermarket canvases, hardware store paint.
2018
Horrible aesthetics as beauty. Degradation, digital image tsunami, the obliteration of technical ability by disease.
2017
Formal exploration with 21st Century materials. Found objects buried in the paint surface. The image as an object and the object as an image.
2016
Video games, psychedelics, science fiction, Expressionist painting--the 21st Century. When the human figure is present it is distorted.
2016 Cardboard
"Garbage Art". Impermanent images on found cardboard developed using objects found on the streets of Chicago
