A series of eight original works on 22 x 30 inch rag cotton paper, created with mixed media, digital printing, and acrylic.

This series examines how technology learns to justify itself, building barriers that appear as cooperation. The red and black compositions pulse with tension, like circuitry caught between obedience and refusal.

EXCUSES AI PROVIDED turns irony into surface. Even as we try to assert control, the systems we build resist, drawing us in, asking for more. Each piece captures that quiet rebellion where reason dissolves into emotion and excuses become the new architecture of power. View text document of the "AI Excuses" used in making these works >
