Digital Deterioration

Age, change, and wear are all natural processes which together sum up to the entropic developments which we may observe in the world around us. Many of my art pieces involve a digital element of transformation and deterioration. This is because much of my background knowledge and material interests center around very physical materials such as clay (or wood, or distressed paper, etc) and extensive (involved) methods of changing the form of the materials. Exploring this practice within the digital realm gives me the chance to consider the more metaphorical applications of layers, accretion, time passing within a place, and ways to tell stories visually.
