This series of works comment on the landscape of our attention span, illustrating the chaotic manner of the images that infiltrate our lives. I am interested in the pleasure trap of seeking connectedness through the bombardment of media. As a society, we no longer spend time in the simple present; instead, we are paradoxically persuaded to look at everything but what is right in front of us. My paintings are visual representations of the constant search for tranquility in the trenches of unrelenting distraction.
