everything at once (ep)

Displaying my own anxiety → reiterations of previous work. Parts of all of these are on display. Specific frames. Memories. Pain. Acting in? Or Acting? Reiterating themselves. Documentation of familial, personal and external trauma. A visual album for “putting myself on full blast.”

1. passenger seat (revision)

enjoy the ride

​2. dropped

study of movement in almost completely falling down. There’s a possibility of never getting back up from this fall. you’re falling down.

3. flesh (resampled)

resampled material. Abstracted documentation of classism in the form of boating activities of the “ruling” class. (white, working class.) interjections of institutions upholding classism + false upendings of the system.

4. why I left

documentation of performance over flashing imagery of depression. Documentation of stagnation. And the strife it brings in familial situations boiling over. Reiterating. Over and over. No matter how intense. And how it’s ignored.

5. everything at once

Everything at once. everything at once. everything at once. .everything at once. 
you’re overwhelmed. Obfuscating information to not be overwhelmed. Preventing information overload.

refractions.

2018. digital illustration, photography.

“refractions.” is a collection of digital illustrations utilizing photos in an intuitive, textural manner, explorations of atmosphere, refraction & composition are made. Utilizing elements of illustration, glitch art, & other forms of digital illustration.. Illustrations utilize heavily edited digital media (cell phone photos, older illustrations, etc), to resemble more abstract works. There is 20-30 illustrations, with a painting-size (49in-like) monitor to display different artworks. With this in mind, the intention with this piece is to display and observe the artists’ identity & origins as a backdrop. As for displaying other illustrations, the entire collection will be in other monitors alongside the bigger monitor. The pieces would be on a rotation on each monitor utilizing video slideshows of all of the pieces.
The artist's painting practice plays a heavy influence for this series, along with explorations of gender expression & interpersonal trauma.
