The following two pieces started with billboard advertisements I found around San Francisco and Paris. They were giving me otherworldly vibes. The binary code on "Impending Irrelevance" reads THEYREHERE. It is scratched into "The Watcher" as well. The quotation from ChatGPT on the "Impending Irrelevance" says "Amusing to watch humans grappling with their impending irrelevance". Hmmm.

These next pieces were really fun to make. Layers of vintage paper, sewing patterns, white paint. I handwrote the lyrics to Depeche Mode's Somebody on transparent tissue paper, ripped them up and glued them on. Then I invented some flowers, and added vintage romance comic images. Some of them are quite cheeky!

These paintings contain deeply layered backgrounds with images from kid's picture books combined with ransom note messages cut from vintage magazines. Just a bit of whimsy.
