My current body of work is an investigation into the subtext of comic
book illustration. I am stripping away the narrative and recognizable
characters to allow the viewer to see the remaining subliminal
impression. Context-free samples of an image are combined into an
overwhelming retinal landscape, and Comics of different eras in the
same piece transform the metaphoric distance of time into a literal
distance.
I've appropriated elements from hundreds of comic book artists to
create a new visual language.
