Repetition and RecontextualizationReplication and VariationLimitation and ExplorationImpulse and RevisionThe daily made versus the grand expression…My work often begins from a point of derivation or mimicry and is not limited to a specific medium. From my awkward line and shoddy paint application to my practice of realizing quick little videos that I can upload and be done with in no more than 30 minutes (get in line right?), I find that I’m constantly looking to create something other than what I am creating. This impatience with realization, which is reinforced by formal failure and half-heartedly glossed over with adopted stylization from contemporary sources, allows for impulsively derived variation and is an expression of indecisiveness and inadequacy in a world of ever-increasing choice and technological proficiency.I feel that my work is closely related to folk art… the kind of art Grandma Moses might make if she used a computer and had an interest in the conceptual.
