Art history, thoughts, and current events packaged into JPEGs and MPEGs. These digital and physical artworks reference pop culture, digital media, consumerism, and traditional art languages to examine our current cultural landscape. I source material from packaging and labeling, AI outputs, 3D lidar scans, screen grabs, targeted advertisements, and quick snapshots I take while working as an electrician across Los Angeles. Images, videos, and text function like passages in a poem. Layered, non linear, and open to reinterpretation. I set aside my own aesthetic biases and let my environment guide decisions. By moving fast through initial ideas and ignoring taste, the work arrives at more complex outcomes. Insight lives in those unforeseen interactions creating a living document of my community and surroundings in this constant flow between sense, nonsense, and distractions; a "testament to a very real past, both natural and cultural."
