Artist Statement/ Biography

His experimentation with and misuse of the mechanics of photographic reproduction and often physical interrogation of analogue photographic processes questions photography as a vehicle of depiction and its capacity for memory. Those processes free images from the strain of indexicality which allows them through the language of imagery to generate their own meaning. Much of the work happening at NARS will be an extension of his project "We Travel To And Shall Be Lost In Always", in which he used video, installation and photography to highlight his personal experiences with a fatal neurodegenerative disease (Huntington’s) as well as draw relationships between his own failing memory and the crisis of the deterioration of digital media and storage known as “bit rot.”
