My work combines traditional printmaking techniques with newer innovations in digital technology. My practice has developed to extend printmaking and digital media into installation through projecting animation onto sculptural forms. I am inspired by the many innovative and varied applications of digital media in contemporary art. I am interested in the slow recording of movement over time, the unseen recorded mark, and the latent evidence of “having been there.”
As a printmaker, I am interested in the variation in the multiple and developing of a sequence of imagery. It was originally through my desire to create works on a confrontational scale that I began to transform my printmaking into animation. The digital medium is a virtual and mutable environment where imagery exists and recedes as if three-dimensional. Giving the projection a surface to animate expands this quality. I see this work as an extension of the idea of printmaking by printing with light onto another surface, giving the work an additional layer of information. By animating my imagery, I am able to take advantage of the variation possible within the multiple, rather than committing to one image, I create a slowly evolving sequence.
