Some brief thoughts:

I consider these works to be connected by the idea and methods of collage. Paintings on canvas, prints on Epson lustre photo paper and on adhesive fabric applied directly on the (brick) wall. The nexus of these works is found in this image of a piece of origami paper (image above). Simple stripes of undulating color, reminding me of light sources. Color has been de-saturated and mediated through 35mm black and white film. Printed. Then photographed (again) and printed (again).

The images were made by scanning my existing work. Then printing. Then collaging. Then painting on it. Then scan again. Then printing. A recursion? Maybe, I'm not certain. A loop for sure. A productive question may be, "what am I looking at?" Are these photographs? Are these prints? Are these photo-collages? Does it matter? Semantics. Shorthand may be misleading. When is a fragment enough to sustain attention? How does a detail become an entire image in itself?

Not about Photography per say but rather about texture as felt by the eyeballs as conduit to the hands. The images represent movement or gestures taken (spliced? cropped?) out of sequence in the studio. Process as image. Residue as image. Ambiguity is important (to me).
