The way that humans look at images in the post-internet age has changed. The pervasiveness and flexibility of the digital picture has fundamentally altered our habits regarding viewing, use, storage, and ownership.

The definition of what is real or factual in representation has become a matter of interpretation and the relationship of one image to another always open to interpretation.

These works wrestle with the limitations and the assets of painting. Both as objects and as their eventual life as digital files.
