This series of paintings reflects on Late-Modernist principles and the people and
technologies that brought these ideas into our lives. These paintings are created by a combination of human, digital, and
mechanical processes. The images are constructed by various subtractive and additive methods. In some cases, the image is created using computer software and custom
scripts written by the artist in PHP, then etched into painted panels
using a laser-cutter. The etched areas are filled with paint of another color and the surface is laborously smoothed with razor blades and sand paper.
This process yields a detailed image with distinct readings at the micro and macro levels.
