The Ten Days Project

The 10 Days Project is a global based collaboration where select individuals from around the world contribute to the project for ten consecutive days. I have participants from Japan, China, Costa Rica, Russia, England and the United States. For ten days the participants photograph themselves and at the end of the ten days I use the photos to create an amalgamated painting of the photographs. I utilize public subjects, portraits, and social observations to create a performative space in my paintings. These objects do not settle. The editing aspect of my process is integral to creating these amalgamations; by carefully determining the signals I invite the viewer to examine the formally crafted pieces with a more sensitive awareness. The paintings investigate the formal and ideological traditions of the art world and its relationship to the subjective tolerance of a globalized society. The resulting condition allows the confines between the self and the world to be annulled, a sort of socio-global-morphism. I interrogate my subjects through questioning the social media worldview, which includes coming to terms with how the global centering of humanity is being revealed as inevitable...making it possible to collaborate with artists and models I have never met face to face.
