This series of works can be seen as an exploration of the value and entropy of information. Merging influences from both analog and digital realms, Chris interprets and represents these ideas through experimental layouts and mark-making. His approach emphasizes the tangible experience of creation, which he views as a crucial way to engage with the transient nature of information and the ever-evolving landscape of communication.
By immersing himself in the physical process of making art, Chris forms a deep connection with his materials, allowing textures, forms, and imperfections to guide his expression. This tactile interaction not only grounds his work in the real world but also serves as a counterbalance to the ephemeral qualities of digital communication. Through his art, he captures and reflects upon the fleeting, often chaotic flow of information, creating a dialogue between the enduring impact of traditional techniques and the impermanent nature of contemporary media.
