My current paintings derive from the expansive image bank found in the Internet, popular films, and other media sources. The paintings deconstruct cultural icons of the public consciousness. The images themselves are artificial, and are executed through references to art history and pop design. The types of scenes often evoke the uncanny, and re-present the strangeness of the familiar fast paced imagery thrown at us by consumer culture. The paintings stir up uneasiness, in a way that precipitates change and invigorates the viewer to engage in a process of dialogue that enhances the experience of our temporary continuity.
