The Simulacra of Life

Acrylic, Wax and Text on Canvas

Lately, I have been inspired by conceptual art and its relationship with tautology. Joseph Kosuth, Jacques Derrida and Don DeLillo have really played a role in the development of my works. Kosuth is a conceptual artist who creates instillations dealing with communication. Jacques Derrida and Don DeLillo are communication theorists. Each have really made head way in the way meaning and words are viewed.
