RR Artist Statement

I am a multidisciplinary artist and graphic designer, interested in experimental approaches to design, imaging, writing, publishing, and research. My screen- and projection-based, collage, drawing, typographic, code, and print work offers perspectives on representation, data, narrative, body and space. I am focussed on the material trace of images, and on disrupting conventions and expectations connected with maps, web- and time-based visual forms, and the constructions of archives. My work is motivated by a concern for the ways violence and conflict is visualized in culture, for navigating with empathy and for building different systems. The various layers of my research examine our understandings of cultural, technological, and environmental events, and our individual connections to our private human scales of life, aesthetics, and perspectives of time and place.
