Vector Paintings at the Columbus Museum of Art

In 2016, I was awarded a residency in Dresden Germany and subsequently, participated in a group exhibition at the Columbus Museum of Art. My paintings consist of scroll-like canvases layered with dense atmospheric forms. Though painterly in appearance, these forms were actually burned into the unstretched canvas by a laser machine, a device that can translate a digital image into an etching on a wide variety of materials. My unorthodox use of the laser machine, repeating the rasterizing process on successive areas of the canvas, allows imperfections to creep into an otherwise precise technology of reproduction. The works stem from my fascination with how images traverse our visual and material culture, and fall within a longstanding artistic reconsideration of the idea of painting.
