71 / 5,735

71/5,375  is a series of oil paintings made using image references from my iPhone photo archive. Tackling the simultaneous pleasure and problem of excessive image accumulation, the ongoing series seeks to examine the role of photography and painting in imaging contemporary life. 71/5,375 develops the use of photography as a painting tool, coming to terms with its character as a medium through which life is not only imaged, but collected, aiming to develop a view of life and its accumulated visual paraphernalia in one artwork. The diverse range of genres in the paintings reveal the disparate nature of the collected images in our lives.
