You have described your aim as blurring the boundaries between digital and traditional media. Do you perceive this blurring as a synthesis, a productive friction, or an unresolved tension that must remain visible in the finished piece?
I lean toward unresolved tension. I believe it’s important for some 'seams' to remain visible. By keeping that tension unresolved, the work reflects something imperfect. It draws the viewer in to examine the ‘why?’ Leaving the process visible allows the viewer to question the authenticity and origin of the marks they see as original and not manufactured.
