Artist Statement:

I chose to use a computer, and one whose graphic displays were in low resolution, … because of the way in which the process of digitizing an image with a video camera emphasized the shapes composing the landscape. A complex, realistic image could be altered to a more abstract image of blocky shapes, defined by the five step grey scale of the software …. Another important reason for using the computer was the ability it gave me to manipulate the image, once digitized, with paint software.
