As notions of meaning and resonance become increasingly ephemeral and mediated, this exhibition explores how to make visible and material the affective impact of our communicative transmissions. The desire within the work is to expose the visual and emotive confluence between synaptic and media derived patterns as abstract records of consciousness.

Cell phones, newspapers, television, social media, and streamed content allow us to author, participate, and witness these phenomena. These cumulative signals and noises are intertwined with direct physical interaction between bodies and sites in our everyday lives. Through the processes of painting, installation, and performance, I engage the call and response interaction between materiality, transmission, and the reverberations that linger on.

CMYK and RGB are building blocks of communication, and the membrane through which images and information are transmitted and rendered. They filter, form, and reform how we shape our view of our world. The work reflects time of day, bodies, and both natural and built environment. It is in flux.
