"One Blast", an anagram of the artist's name, has two different project aspects. One is a room installation made from laser cut wall panels, exploring the physicality of an 8 bit line and the relationship of physical space to virtual space.
Another element responds to "Blast One", a manifesto from the Vorticists, edited by Wyndham Lewis, and published in 1914. This painting series explores dazzle ships, and the transformation of technology into art and vice versa.
Laser cut room with 8 bit pixel lines, 8'x7'x14' - installed at Force Field Projects, Philadelphia, 2014
There is a 25 foot deep hidden room behind the central oculus - here, virtual space shifts into physical space.
Walls are painted laser cut masonite on plywood. Floor is mirrored plexiglas.

Progression of broken window image from a former bus depot. The negative space in the upper left image is over a hundred feet deep. This image was first converted into a drawing, a pixelated digital image, then into a laser cut model.

First version of "One Blast" Installation at Steven Zevitas Gallery, Boston, 2013
Painting based on imagery from the Vorticist "One Blast" manifesto. Dazzle ship imagery (art turning into technology) is blended with pulsar waves made recognizable from Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures" album cover (technology turning into art).
Painted unfixed inversion of previous painting, installed on birchwood panels. The inability of Photoshop to make a clean selection is integrated into the image, as a continuous form of technology creating new aesthetics.

These are sequential stills from a New Order video, of a distorted series of transmissions. This failure of technology is isolated into new aesthetics with sign painter's enamel.
