PARALLAX GAP

Over the last decade I have combined photography, digital rendering and painting to produce abstract and figurative work with a structure in which one image is viewed through the transparency of a second image. The gap between the layers creates a displacement of colors, shapes, and composition and produces doublings, fadings, and come alive through the precise placement of moiré patterns, creating a unique vibrational exchange. This latest body of work is inspired by Op (optical) Art Movement of the 60’s and builds on the notion of optical illusions using moiré patterns and glitches that the digital world avoids. The “glitch” defined is a pattern overlaid onto another pattern that doesn’t get along and creates a third pattern. This is the territory I am investigating.

"Within the parallax gap is where everything happens."
