In the now not-so-new digital age we are<br />

inundated with images, a stream of data<br />

repeating and reproducing. We question<br />

quality and ownership and continue to scroll<br />

and spiral through what seems to be<br />

something yet nothing, only to find<br />

ourselves lost in cyberspace, or, back to<br />

where we st<strong>art</strong>ed. Searching.<br />

Standing before a painting there is a sense<br />

of how it has been made or what it is made<br />

from. In front of a screen, viewing the same<br />

work (as an image) it disappoints. The<br />

characteristic of the hand-made that is<br />

present in the painting is never fully tangible<br />

in a digital image. So regardless of how<br />

saturated we become with these images,<br />

and how much the maker has been<br />

removed, we are never satisfied with what<br />

we find of these representations. It only<br />

results in us searching for<br />
