Artist's Statement
My work is associated with the 'apocalyptic sublime', a metaphysical condition of combined astonishment and terror in the presence of huge natural or uncanny human and technological forces. I cull my source images from the Internet on a daily basis and reinvent them as paintings, which I execute in single sessions. Through this process, I am able to engage and absorb complex image-events, illuminating the gaps between firsthand experience and purely media-driven realities.
