Fingerpainting 1994 Ink and acrylic on linen 71x177"
	About the work

“

My work incorporates physical properties of the human body to question the constructs of identity. I have found it necessary to develop a visual structure for a seamless, continuous ‘body space’ that fuses the body with technology. Within this body space I explore the location of my own body in the media/technological world. My work uses computer-digitized imagery that is both created and appropriated. The entire surface of my painting is of the body, a skin. This representation of the skin is conveyed by using digitized dots of paint where the skin of the techno-body physically and metaphorically emerges--from the painting/screen of dots. In effect, the painting’s body space emerges out of the large CRT screen as a new ‘extended’ body. It is depicted as a complete illusion emerging out of the physicality of printed dots of paint. The paradox of illusion and physicality is another ‘property’ of this body space.”T.H.
