The Scatter Plots series stages its smallest unit, the pixel, as both medium and metaphor.
I use pixelation to create moments of rupture within the image, moments which expose the ‘nature’ of digital photography pixels on a grid, moments which engage the capacity of the human mind to impute missing data, moments that activate the image as a façade signifying both our desire and the ephemeral experience of nature. The title Scatter Plots plays on the essence of the digital image as a grid of data points.
The pixel traps many binary motions: it simultaneously constructs and deconstructs, it renders detail and abstracts image information, it represents ‘reality’ and conjures up illusions.
