Flux series

In the Flux series, the figures and the spaces they reside are either hallucinations or speak to states of a psyche in turmoil. The figures are in a space that can be viewed as dreamlike or a kind of psychological space. They are psychological spaces but are meant to induce physical reactions, bodily reactions one expresses during intense distress, anxiety, and instability. The marks help indicate this as an energy or aura. I chose to use silkscreen as a medium for methodological purposes but also because the mark could reflect the textures of the space they were used in. All works in this series are a combination of digital inkjet, screenprinting, and chine-collé on Hahnemühle printmaking paper.
