As we go about our everyday lives, we are continually assailed by images of material artifice, from the billboards we pass by as we drive to and from work to the massive flow of information that comes to us on television or through the Internet. With my artwork, I attempt to represent what I see as our society’s increasing drive towards consumerism and materialism in its quest to achieve fulfillment through this artificial reality presented to us on a daily basis. Using vivid colors, abstract organisms, and elements of design, I try to show the near future of environments, space, humans, and animals as well as their psychological and sociological interactions, all in a surreal manner. The figures in my images demonstrate their own search for clarity, direction, or even one’s self, yet often tend to follow the leader as they float in space.
