The Internet is a multimedia worldwide forum for expression, exchange, branding, promotion, and, of course, sales. In my work I use deconstructed abstractions of actual websites to create new compositions in a removed, off-line environment. The layout, structure, and purpose of these sites directly inform the compositions and narratives of my work. Colors and shapes are governed almost exclusively by the original website's design, and the linked pages of a single site are often included, providing a schematic of the site's underlying architecture in my final composition (e.g., Mrs. Clinton at Work in Washington).

I search for sites with ties to compelling personalities, engaging storylines, or controversial issues. The tapestry of connecting lines and iconographical shapes found in The Last 100 Offenders Executed in Texas (Who They Were and What They Said), for example, is informed by the actual Texas Death Row website. In terms of a website, it is a complete mess, devoid of any practical sense of design, organization, or planning.  With this piece, however, I have tried to harness that chaos and present it instead as a refined and structured narrative that engages the topic of capital punishment.
