New paintings about technology and design

This series explores our evolving relationships with technology and design.

These paintings reflect personal technologies and midcentury industrial design before our hardware was reduced to the ubiquitous slabs of glass that now dictate our lives. Taking things a step further, they also explore graphic design, and what’s been lost along with the hand skills that are no longer necessary in creative fields.

Compositions were created from vintage ad campaigns and packaging with an emphasis on hand-illustrated imagery. Some reference images were created with 3D modeling software.
