About the Exhibition
From the Artist:
“Me as the Machine is about what it means to create by hand in a time when everything feels automated or mass-produced. I’ve been thinking a lot about tools — the ones we rely on, and the ones we become. In this show, I’m exploring what happens when I turn myself into the machine.’
Through embroidered works on raw canvas and painted surfaces, he teases out the tension between tool and touch, labor and vision.
