As modern society progresses further into technological obsession, the availability and complexity of information increases. The day of an average person in this society is saturated to the brim with facts, images, videos, objects, advertisements, digital communications, and more. For me, this elevated level of information availability becomes more of a burden than a benefit. I feel overwhelmed by the constant surge of information I encounter, making it difficult for me to properly acknowledge and retain my surroundings.
The drawings and installations I create are physical documentations of my experiences in a modern, informationally-dense culture. These physical records aim to illicit a reaction in the viewer that coincides with the chaotic encounters they represent. I collect simple relics of data from my daily experiences and severely elevate their complexity through the use of bright colors, random imagery, pattern, layering, repetition and alternative materials. In their finished forms, these personal relics inspire states of overwhelm and bewilderment: conditions synonymous with informational and technological bombardment. Inhabiting these induced states, viewers are able to recognize the absurdities and frustrations I encounter in the modern world.
