This piece includes good leafing on the archival print.

My painting practice is rooted in material and process; the possibilities and limitations of acrylics, masking tape and wood inform content. I struggled to connect with the digital medium until I recognized the parallels between it and one of my favorite subjects—fungus. Computer code, like the hyphal tips of mycelium, relies on replication to create forms that have no visual resemblance to their parts. Process followed by applying "behaviors" of fungus to Photoshop manipulations of my painting images. Decay feeding an unplanned yet purposeful growth; stretching, shrinking, symbiosis and fruiting. Each artwork here is one stage in an ongoing transformation.
