I explore the intersection of printmaking and digital mediums to abstract and process the world around me. I transform sources of meaning and information into planes of aesthetic as a way to un-process and over-process our lived realities. In my work, I bring different parts of our sociocultural and digital worlds together to inhabit the same landscape and allow seemingly disparate ideas to live alongside each other as assemblages of imagery, whether through large scale digital prints, projections, or moving images. Information is broken down and takes on new forms in my work, such as a sea of fluid lines or a dizzying and vibrant collection of shapes. In this way, I attempt to resist the over-saturation of information in the world, break down imagined hierarchies, and to take away the ability for information to be polarizing or indoctrinating.

My thesis focuses on the abstraction of various source materials and their repurposing into new contexts through translations between physical and digital worlds. I particularly focus on two main categories of abstraction: abstractions of pure imagination and abstractions of information derived from real world sources. By allowing the abstractions to coexist, I aim to blur the boundaries between imagination and reality and explore the interplay between the tangible and intangible. I create alternate landscapes of my lived realities by bringing together sources from varying temporal, cultural, and sociopolitical contexts.
