artist statement

Duality Industries is a multidisciplinary artistic practice in the mediums of digital photography, acrylic and mixed media painting, and readymade conceptual installations.

Duality Industries explores consumer culture, societal constructs, technology, and human connection through the lens of duality, liminality, and transitions, with a focus on the spaces of New York City, the spaces between, and the mundane. Special attention is given to mannequins, stairwells, technologies, spaces, structures, and thresholds, with a rich visual iconographic vocabulary--the extraordinary ordinary all around us that we pass by each day. Inspiration is drawn from Rothko's color fields, Warhol's striking palettes, Basquiat's palimpsests, Koons' and DuChamp's readymades, and the palettes, iconography, and geometric forms of modern user interface design. Not only do we bring art closer to humanity, we endeavor to bring humanity closer to the world we live in.
