"We can go so far to say that abstraction is nothing less than an escape from life." -JP Hodin
This work represents the degradation of human expression by technology. The common theme in these selected works is how perfection relates to artistic form. In my digital work I equate the medium of light to a system of perfection. When projected it is ephemeral, expressionless, and, although familiar, unknown to us.
Influenced by minimalism and late modernism, this work explores additive and subtractive color theory. These digitally produced arrangements respond to ideal beauty and the criticized decline of modernism. The integration of formal purity (the elements and principles of design) and digital austerity (the recurring grid) present modern innovation and its stale anticlimax.
The lack of gesture in digital function depicts a mundane shift in the human ability to express genuine emotion. Although these works started as a catalyst for my imagination they evolved into a greater metaphor. These icons now represent one's detachment from reality and self blurred into digital technology.
