Painting as Sculpture & TechArcheology

As humans move through iterations of inventions we leave trace records of previous technologies and devices.

This series is built from the viewpoint of the future — what might remain, be transformed, be unearthed, and wondered at. These pieces include recycled and reclaimed bits of tech from once “new” inventions like fruit bags, staples, audio cassette tapes and CDs to the ubiquitous cell phone.
