Cognitive Machinery

This series was constructed to expose urban sighting.  Machinery and inanimate objects such as unfinished building infrastructure are disassembled and stripped of functionality.  Then, they are strategically reassembled in order to evoke possibility and potential within the viewer’s mind.  The series departs from my previous work in its unique process and inspiration.  Drawing from still photographs, photocopied transfers are left to seep into the rigid support.  Each subsequent layer is partitioned using a clear acrylic gesso.  I then return to my signature creative style finishing with an oil base used to convey atmospheric perspective accompanied by natural physical depth.
