"CONSTRUCTS of CHAOS"
APRIL 2-25, 2026
DTLA ART NIGHT RECEPTION
THURSDAY APRIL 2, 6-10pm
In the Artist's Words:
"My own CCTV surveillance system is used for monitoring self made wall mounted collages. They address issues and sites associated with surveillance technology and facial recognition patterning with an orientation towards the numerous political, racial and cultural disturbances occurring world wide.
The collages were composed from a variety of internet sources and my own on-site imagery files. Surveillance imagery is often blurred, fractured, and/or loaded with “digital noise”. The work intentionally offers itself as an alternative to highly refined digital photography. They serve as metaphors regarding the instability and precariousness of the human condition no matter how “technologically advanced” we become.
The incorporation of the MacBook Pro, iPhones, and/or CCTV surveillance monitors are for “framing” the photographs to heighten the socio-psychological presence of surveillance in our lives and the preponderance of “screen time” that consumes our daily lives. The inclusion of the human eye(s) metaphorically references the point/plane of shifting currents/tensions between our sense of inner being/security in conflict with what we currently witness in our chaotic exterior realms."
