Pipelines
A series of paintings, both digital and material that contemplate looped and connected bodies.
Pipelines meditate on the visible hand in new-media paintings. Optics have been used in painting for centuries, often in ways that are intended to disappear and leave only paint behind. These works foreground the technologies used in their making while also emphasizing the human marks in digital painting practices – finger-painting over a polished scanner painting on dibond or scribbles and glaze layers made with a graphics tablet and pen. The works are messy and imprecise on purpose, going against the idea of a sleek digitally created artwork in a corporate pipeline. They invite the idea that eyes, hands and materials were the first instruments and appendages of digital art. This feels especially important in the era of AI slop - over polished, unreal and empty. Through gentle bending curves and softly smeared oil paint, these works are intended to be a small peace offering to both humanity and technology.
