My representations: entropic manipulations

My thesis body of work developed from a desire to examine my
nonrepresentational artwork in relation to the concept of entropy - the law of
thermodynamics that measures the gradual, steady disintegration in a system such as our
world. Experimenting with a range of approaches and mediums, I resolved to radically
manipulate the inkjet printing of my digital photography files to introduce chance and
provoke decay. The resulting prints operate as an orchestrated chaos alluding to
environmental decline and collapse, and by extension, potential social degeneration. My
art reflects my perceptions of our times as well as adds to the problem. I continue to
produce waste through the consumption of materials. I contaminate through inks. I add to
landfills with failures. My artwork points out the inevitable end.
