It’s Worse than We Thought (Work in Progress, 2015)
Drawing from a pool of images that I’ve been capturing over the last few years—tagged Flowers, Vehicle, Cash Machine, Grid, Photo, Chair, Gas Pump, Exit or Entrance, among others—the pieces here are constructed by way of a semi-random combinatory logic.
This “semi” for me is the space between artistic intention, on the one hand, and on the other the flow of immediacy which characterizes image production and consumption in our time: it’s a way perhaps to do something with exploring the meaningfulness of part-to-whole while having no control over the whole.
