Pinprick

University of Southern California | BFA Fine Art Thesis Exhibition

pinprick responds to the subconscious of an organic and technological matrix. Through calculated punctures in the metaphorical skin of dreamscapes, reality, the internet, and virtual; the exhibited artists bring attention to the fallible nature of epochal systems.Through media including digital illustration, oil painting, sculptural assemblage, and 8 bit video game, the artworks in pinprick interrogate the multi-consciousness of material, spiritual, and digital landscapes through a range of modalities. These decisive and yet highly compulsive works grapple with social and metaphysical dynamics through a hyper-existentialist lens.
