    I am making videos
    that occur in a physical space and interact with painting. 
    Thematically, I deal with several large issues that are currently
    facing civilization. During this age of telecommunications, the exact
    difference between reality and representation is no longer discernable.
    Reality television/instant news paradoxically result in lessening the
    relations between humans and their environment. We live inside a kind
    of psychological space – a non-space – with little concern for physical
    realities or the sustenance nature provides us.

    From
    my perspective, civilization has already passed its apex and has begun
    the process of decline. Being a witness to decline amidst a seemingly
    endless flow of information technology provides artists with unique
    opportunities to document this collapse.
