Reflecting on our image-laden world, these paintings explore architecture and the built environment, less in the engineering terms of how it was made and more in terms of how we constantly re-make it in new combinations. Based on fragments of photographs that shape scenarios my eyes could never witness, they exaggerate these newly combined spaces and explore what might happen in them. That liberty allows me to experiment with material specificities of paint just as much as to experiment with formal issues of composition. 3D animations penetrate the picture plane as the medium specific identity of the work takes the backseat, questioning our preconceived notions of reality.
