"Artificial" is an experimental series diving into Vaporwave and LoFi aesthetics, feelings associated with the genre(s), while also incorporating LGBTQ ideas. The process here shows where I'm trying to take something that is primarily based in digital formats, being born from Windows 98 and Macintosh in the 90s. Nostalgia basing from 70s, 80s, 90s escapism is plugged into a very traditional, modern use of lithography. Materials used on each print are the same, but also offering different feelings of repetition; being a commentary of collage, repetition of social media, corporations draining people, the process of making vaporwave themed art in a traditional context, and how the vaporwave genre instills this NEED for the the past to reinvent itself..

'Drawn To Sin', 20" x 24", Mixed Media Lithograph, 2018 Inspired by manuscripts and the artworks within medieval codices, the figure is statuesque, helping frame the 'meat' of the artwork which is the text inside the ‘cloud’. The text reads, "Helplessly drawn to Sin, Now I'm in him, One in Sin, I in Him”, imitating the holy and poetic language of biblical writings. Between the cloud of text and androgyny of the figure, the themes that are focused on are queer identity and coexistence.
