they will not die, 28 x 40 inches, acrylic and UV print on hand-carved wood panel, 2018
From Foam Magazine #54: PLAY!:
His work stems from Flusser’s idea that images both program and are programmed by our world in an end-less feedback loop. Each image is a wood panel that is gessoed and painted white, carved into, and then printed over with a UV printer.
Everything in this set of work is made from existing advertisement imagery, imagining ‘these idealized situations and bodies combining, looping through our world, crumbling, and creating new things’. Again with his words, ‘think of the carvings as chunks of images, in this case also idealized situations and the place where I make the body visible again – as more of a ghost. They require the viewer to consider their distance and relationship to the object as they shift from appearing as a faint line into a physical mark”.
