Artist Statement

This work is a series of three paintings on canvas, the culmination of several years of work investigating the convergence of biology and technology. These prints are the products of an attempt to re-sequence human biology, my biology, through the technological systems of printmaking and digital media. Their conception and construction have helped to effectuate a reconstruction of my body as a partially digitized organism immersed in a nutrient-rich environment.
