Artist Statement
Drawing on outsider art sensibilities, and inspired by living in a city in the digital age, Zack describes his work as a search for balance within the 2D picture plane, fusing craft-oriented patterns, shapes, and motifs- to create abstract narratives for the viewer to mine visually.
He thinks of painting a residual representation of how consciousness creates reality. He wants his paintings to comment on the relevance of handmade objects in a digitally saturated world.
Themes explored in Zack’s work include ideas about suppressed information, interdimensional communication, supersynchronicites, freedom, and the human condition.
