I am so pleased to have been awarded an NAC grant 2025, The funded, in part, project is Still Life with Technology.
Still life with Technology. Visualizing technology’s impact on society by studying the tools and machines it has manifested - final works presented as drawings, largescale fabric panels, and virtual reality.
To summarize – I will create 4 large-scale panels that visualize the dichotomy technology presents, and the questions society should be asking of it. I will portray technological equipment as compelling, and often beautiful in terms of its structure and complexity, while at the same time, questioning what we use it for, and how we have evolved some to feed us, and some to kill us. I want to expand the imagery and symbolism I use in the form of drawings and make 4 largescale material panels that will be displayed both in real life but also in virtual reality. I will research and capture imagery from factories, and industrial installations to explore the different applications of specific scientific methodologies and present or juxtapose their applied uses.
