I am a digital painter. My source materials are digital photographs, captured by me, or appropriated, or AI-generated.  I blend and glitch them, sometimes repeatedly, then re-work them using digital brushes and filters. Their lives continue on screens, or as prints on metals and other substrates.

I use appropriation as quotation, in the manner of collage and post-modernism - but only exceptionally; my interest goes beyond that, modifying and integrating found imagery so that it only sounds a kind of echo in the fully-realized image, adding cultural and visual depth, its original identity rendered ambiguous; my goal is fusion beyond juxtaposition.

The images use visual repetition and variation to build structure and proportion, analogous to musical form; and in fact I usually associate a digital painting with a particular piece of music.

I embed both cultural artifacts and repetitive patterns in my images, aiming for a picture that is both evocative and geometrical. The surface of the work is intentionally hybrid: painterly gesture meets digital process; photographic detail meets abstract shapes and lines.
