My aesthetic has always gravitated toward hard-edged, geometric abstraction. My current work continues that aesthetic in the age of Amazon. Since most everything is delivered to our front porch, I began to take an interest in the appearance of cardboard boxes, the motifs printed labels, scuff marks, shipping residue, packing tape, duct tape, SKU #s, bar codes. I chose to explore making art from shipping detritus. I had to ceased worrying about the archival properties of cardboard. Nothing else reflects modern life more than what we throw away. With Covid, the delivery footprint just blew up. Conversations now include a segment about what we order online. Art should reflect our contact with the world. For better or for worse our interactions are now insanely influenced by what we ship.
