ARTIST INFO
About
Scouring art history, I search for images of old paintings that feel meaningful to today. I repaint fragments, collaging bits together to create new images, ones that affirm art history's relevance to contemporary culture. I hope to explore what we learn from the past and question whether social evolution is even possible.
