The art pieces in my recent series, VINTAGE POP and VINTAGE POP: SPACE, were created by digitizing vintage graphics, photos, toys, and miscellaneous objects, which were then manipulated on the computer and out put on canvas at a very large scale.

Part of how these images work can be found in their construction. Why were the images chosen? Where were they found? Can seemingly unrelated images from different time periods coexist visually, like they do in memory? How is the concept of time expressed? Does the assemblage of fragmentary elements from vintage pop culture create a sense of nostalgia? I'm comfortable posing these questions within the context of the work, yet leaving the answers unresolved and left up to the viewer.
