Interference Drawings


2025 – ongoing
ballpoint pen on various media
dimensions vary

A series of plotted ballpoint pen drawings of manipulated images from United States politics. Subverting entities that blur the line between influence, entertainment, and spectacle.
(Images processed using Floyd-Steinberg dithering, reaction-diffusion, and image tracing. Then rendered through cross-hatching using a pen plotter.)
