STATEMENT: The exaggerated bar code toasted into the oversized slice of bread references the extent to which numbering, tracking and branding have become routine traces of commercial transaction. With such numbering goes data mining and information aggregation.

STATEMENT: A collection of bar codes, machine readable but not human readable are each framed as specimens in a museum. Like other fragmentary artifacts of lost cultures, they have a certain decorative appeal while at the same resisting full understanding of their encoded secrets.

STATEMENT: In this piece a security envelope is turned inside out resulting in an inversion of public and private domains. The secret message is disgorged for all to see.

STATEMENT: This highly processed bar code is naturally transformed by repetitious filtering into a flag-like symbol with stars and strips. It seems to reveal an insidious hidden agenda by linking the two together.

STATEMENT: The flag symbol in the piece is compiled from want ads in the position of stars and financial data in the position of stripes. The textual data has been corroded so that letters and words are indecipherable shapes. The piece alludes to the uneasy symbiotic relationship between two distinctly different economic spheres

STATEMENT: One of a series of experiments in which the mouse was used as a freehand drawing tool to construct imaginary spaces of undetermined dimension. The character of the mark made by the mouse is expressive and gestural just as it is somewhat machine like. The intent is to spontaneously explore mark-making options which might only naturally occur in a computer environment. It was not the intent to imitate traditional mark making; instead the concept was to use tradition as a starting point.

STATEMENT: This drawing references an architectural space while at the same time exposing its mechanical matrix. Despite the subject matter, the piece is much more drawn than drafted, and accidental rather than preplanned. The space is built in layers taking advantage of the unique ability of the computer environment to draw with equal facility in negative and positive stroke.

STATEMENT: Another of a series of four explorations spontaneously drawn with dense layering. One of the central themes of this series was to investigate the unique mark-making capabilities of the technology and to work independently of traditional media.

STATEMENT: Just as digital technology enabled new mark-making possibilities, it also created new possibilities for seamless blending of information from disparate sources--in this case drawing, text, and a video screen shot. The resulting friction between the different frames of reference finds common ground in the black and white digital environment.

STATEMENT: This piece utilizes mark-making and collaging techniques unique to the digital environment to explore the aura of the anonymous corporate icon as a kind of authority figure.
