How do we know what we know, and
what do we do when we don't?
Who is in control of our attention?


 

My graduation project consists of paintings that use the logic of both the dream and the rebus as an entry point. In an information-rich world, the abundance of information produces a scarcity of attention. Some of this information is visible to us, while some remains hidden. This perspective drives my exploration of painterly steganography: using painting to encode, conceal, and reveal meaning. Every new entry plays the devil’s advocate, producing more “?s” and, in doing so, changing the overarching meaning.
