Prisoner of Patterns

This is a 22 color screenprint from '06. It depicts a woman in a virtual sea of patterns flowing from her kimono. She is overcome by them. It suggests, in the context of other prints I have made during this time, an equivalency between the malaise of being smothered by tradition and its expectations, and that of submersion in modernity / technology (which is its own new form of tradition and ritual, replete with new ingrained expectations).
