These paintings are an exploration of the visual experience and how
technology can enhance the sensation of seeing providing views we could not otherwise experience. The paintings have their roots in digital photography, industrial technology, and classical painting. Using personal photographs as source images the paintings represent a sample of digital information extruded to create an abstract work that maintains its organic origin and essence while being something entirely new and synthetic.
