What role does art play in the formulation and production of culture? Is art a testing ground? If so - for what? What was once avant-garde eventually turns mainstream – the progressive becomes pragmatic. Looking for overlaps between the artificial and the natural, my process requires that I get out and have real experiences, to investigate first hand. Borrowing from both contemporary landscape photography and the conventions of modernist painting I hope to use the language of modernism to critique itself as it trickles down from its source in the arts and sciences to the strip malls and parking lots of mainstream American culture.

This work is from one of my main concepts about transformation of an image caused by changing dimensions. I usually use pixels to make sculptural figures with 2D images, but in this piece, the destruction of the image happens in more varied ways. The visualization of the scanned images in 3-dimensional space is combined with a casual editing process, so the figure is contains unexpected distortions.
