My future's so dire, I'm required to wear shades is a world of sagging, crooked, 16-bit color fields interrupted with parts and pieces of humanity breaching the surface. It's surveillance. It's faulty optics. It's that hidden slice of frontier between the present day and dystopia.

Using oil paint each piece has an underlayer filled with details. People, places, objects, and symbols make up the ground of the painting. Each new layer covers more and more of the last leaving a heavy canvas filled with marks and texture.

I approached these works starting directly on the canvas without any kind of formal plan or idea on the outcome. My only two directives being "allow the work to be a mistake" and "there is no plan, only the feeling of dread".
