Artist Statement (Broadcast Series 2006 – 2010)
Begun in May 2006, broadcast is a series of paintings that explore the use of communication technology to create and maintain social networks around the world. This technology has the potential to weave people, ideas and culture into a single dynamic fabric. To participate in this process involves taking risks, as children do when they play. Children use play earnestly as an opportunity to explore and connect, creating the framework by which they learn and make more complex decisions, while staying adaptive. Communication through play is a basic element to understanding the world and the link we have to society through the networks we have formed.
