While creating my body of work I have become increasingly interested in the practice of painting as an intersection between the analog and the digital, explored through the relationship between physically painting an image and the manipulation of an image using digital tools.  My use of the computer as a tool in my painting process began as a means to access the near infinite trove of found images available on the internet to use as subjects for my work.   What began as a way to access subject matter quickly became a means to create it, as I begun using various programs to manipulate images and video.  After first being mediated digitally, the subjects I’d created were then mediated a second time through the analog process of applying liquid/body fluid on the printed image, and then scanned back into the computer, to create a working image from which I paint to canvas in a sort of cyborgic assembly line of image production.  What was at first a line of production from digital subject to analog product has since become an even plane of artistic creation.  By taking what is intrinsic to one aspect of the process and plugging it into the other I use the analog as a restraint with which to transgress the digital and vice versa.  It is from this middle ground that this work emerges.
