Noise for Signal was the title of my 2018 exhibition at the Baahng Gallery in NYC.
An overview of the exhibition can be seen in this video.
One major component of the show was the animation, President: "Why?"
Nine-and-a-half minutes long, President: "Why?” was created from approximately 3,600 “degeneration prints,” which I also use in mural-scale installations. The source materials—tiny reproductions of head-shop posters advertised in early-1970s comic books—were originally distorted by cheap printing techniques. My processes push these flaws across the border between recognizable imagery and abstraction, revealing the towering ideals of the ’60s as battered and degraded, yet still beautiful.
Below is a selection of work from the show as well as installation shots.
