In a visually stimulating culture we are allowed many reads on one image. Directed by the visual author, we as individuals glean what we can from this over exposure. Reminiscent of a T.V or computer screen on multiple channels, my intention (with this piece) is to produce a simultaneously overwhelming and calming experience for the viewer. My desire is to play in between the land of abstraction and realism. Where the segmented figure offers a sense of hidden exposure or voyeurism. In this way, I create a liminal state between the conscience and unconscious mind.
