Artist Statement:
My computer generated work, to
the present, digitally
addresses themes as cyber sex,
ironic representation of
geo-political power struggles,
the aspects of ‘crime and
punishment’ via internet.

"AdultBlind" The JPEG-s are
downloaded from adult sites on
the www. All these images are
pornography but they range in
degree from from conventional
exhibitionism to soft porn to
hardcore. Using PhotoShop I
completely erased the nude
bodies of the models leaving
only the background. Or you
could say I clothed the
nakedness of the models with
the surrounding pixels of the
background. This is my method
of giving further definition
to the most popular type of
site on the Internet.
Technically, my use of the
software (PhotoShop) is
intentionally imperfect there
are traces of the models’
bodies still remaining on the
background. The backgrounds,
apart from the people who
posed in front of them are in
themselves a social
commentary. They range from
the cheap hotel rooms, offices
with dying plants to the
expensive apartments or
outdoor settings featuring
cars, or scenic panoramas...
