Altered Course
What began as the family album series has morphed into observations of the broader society, particularly noting our obsession with technology and the social dynamic (or lack of) it fosters. One of my earliest family album paintings, called “Alone Together” was created before the prevalence of social media, but speaks to the same idea. Although in close proximity, each of the figures is absorbed in their own world just as they are in the recent work, “The Family That Tweets Together…” Could it be that our electronics have exacerbated a tendency that has always been there?
