My recent obsession with Artificial Intelligence has taken my work in new, unorthodox directions. The title of my show, AI: Artificial Insanity, addresses the issues of intelligence combined with the question of insanity. I mimic this concept in the contemplation and creation of my work; taking real photographs, then digitally manipulating them until they become surreal. I love taking things out of context and placing them where they don't belong to make combinations of strange bedfellows. I believe art should dazzle, delight, mesmerize and even change minds if people pay close attention.
