Focusing on the simple pixel as my subject I am able to explore how the individual pixels interact to create a field of color and texture... A layering, shedding, and re-layering of materials creates a history and story within each painting, questioning the relationship of subject and background as objects become clear and fade away again... For each individual painting, the viewer is left to navigate the dialog between the foreground and background. Displayed as a series, the paintings find their cohesion through the objects formed as a result of the pixelizing. Ironically, where pixelization is often used in digital media to obscure an image, here it is utilized to make the viewer more aware of the details, at times even becoming the focal object of the paintings. |
