Marco Polo
"Marco Polo", 2021, Oil and Mixed Media on Board, 13 X 13 inches ©
This artwork is one of a series of paintings exploring the relationship between technology, our understanding of time, and being alive.
Incorporating abstracted elements drawn from technology, software and the process of painting itself, this painting investigates the boundaries of the natural and something beyond, contemplating the possibility that we will always be subsumed by, and navigating through, our relationship to technology and time.
In this work, multiple elements — such as the visceral nature of paint, 3D wireframes drawn from gestural mark-making, abstract compositions, as well as figurative images — come together with traditional painting techniques and technology-mediated processes.
