About ten years ago, I came up with the term “Techspressionism” as the title for a self-produced show at 4 North Main Gallery in Southampton. For the last six months or so I have been expanding this concept into an online community of artists working with technology. The group currently includes around 200 talented artists [...]

A suite of four works on paper from my Wireframe series as well as Dynamic Dispatch, a wireframe painting from 2012, were recently purchased by Stony Brook University Hospital for inclusion in their permanent public collection. The works will be installed in the Bed Tower, a new building on the Hospital campus slated to open to the public in January 2019. The eight-story Medical and Research Translation (MART) and Bed Tower building operates as the university’s new headquarters for cancer research, advanced medical imaging and cancer care.
As part of my ongoing website redesign project, I have been working on rewriting my artist bio, and was reminiscing about my time living in the East Village of NYC back in the mid 1990's. During this time, I was commissioned by Earth Day to create the series of digital photomontages pictured above.
I have been reviewing my archives of historical materials, and came across a video interview I conducted with artist and theoretician Joseph Nechvatal in Manhattan in 2000. It was originally recorded for Everbeta, which was (at the time) an early streaming content network for the arts. The interview takes place during a walk between our studios in Manhattan's East Village and Lower East Side. It is raw footage with in-camera editing only, and is primarily a discussion on Viractualism, the topic of Nechvatal's Ph.D thesis.
I will be participating in an exhibition entitled "Hybrid" at Alex Ferrone Gallery in Cutchogue NY, opening this Saturday. Ferrone's gallery focuses on fine art photography and work incorporating photographic elements. The pieces of mine which were selected for this exhibition are all one-of-a-kind hand-painted pieces from a body of work which I call “Photoconstructs”.
In December of 2016, the work pictured above, a mixed-media piece on wood from the artist's Biomorphic series, was accepted into the permanent public collection of the Islip Art Museum in Islip, New York.

Super-excited to be leaving for my artist residency at The Studios of Key West (TSKW) in a few days! I will arrive on Monday evening, and have a solo show opening up at TSKW's Eaton Street location on Thursday, May 7 from 6-8 PM.
