Heat Check

Recently I have been focusing on image making using CMYK color separation techniques to depict the human form. Mimicking the aesthetics of silkscreen while painting images by hand, I am able to gain more influence on the finished images while also creating a tension between the mechanical and personal nature of the artwork. Imagery, sourced diversely, is fed through this same process, broken down, rescaled and recombined. As layers of information accumulate, paintings evolve and near abstraction. Revealing themselves sometimes only by forcing the viewer closer or further away.
