Piece description from the artist
This work utilizes the language of technology and the hard edge of the pixel to question the role of process and contemplation in contemporary painting. We've all seen digital images trying to look like paintings, but this work is just the opposite. Our culture no longer has the time for contemplation once deemed necessary for paintings, so often we try to quickly reproduce work which once took time and effort. This painting's color and optical effects cause a pause which forces the viewer to look more closely. In that pause, one may note that thr conflation of space and the typical instantaneous understanding of an image is halted and the possibility of painting persists.
