​126 Broken Studies (March 2018)
Potential Images. Kamil Gallery. San Diego, CA

126 Broken Studies (5 ft wide x 14 ft high) is inspired by the study of hemispheric neglect- which is a common and disabling condition following brain damage in which patients fail to be aware of items to one side of space. The studies on this condition produce drawings that display a disconnect between the portions of the drawing that are completed by the patient’s hand, and the image the patient sees in their head.
​
126 Broken Studies recreate the messy, highly expressionistic drawing of these flowers and fills in the information with digital drawing projected back onto the plane. The distance and unfilled information are used to replicate the notion of the subconsciousness and the blank spots in perception.

​Corner Space (February 2018)

For this piece I wanted to start to look at the external world as a physical space for a body to inhabit and not just the surface of the canvas like the previous work. To do this I created a corner that introduced a sense of architecture within the work that pushes the edges of the work into an inhabitable space. The projection also works to disorientate the perception of this space by reflecting an image of the corner but from a different angle, giving the work a geometry that seems to fight against itself. The best instance of this is shown in the angle that is represented in the top center of the work: the angle of the material is concave whereas the projection shows the angle as convex. The two competing angles have a way of creating a distance between themselves that gives off the illusion of a closed space directly in front of the work.
