Artist’s Statement:

“Every moment of every day our bodies are bombarded with electromagnetic radiation and pollution. We can’t see it and we don’t feel it, but we wallow in unmeasurable amounts of the stuff, consumed by our obsession to be ‘plugged in’ as we are, to our virtual/mobile/cyber selves, warm in our clever, comfortable houses, fast in our flashy cars and über shopping experiences, satisfied with ‘too quick’ foods. My painting shows misguided praise of a technology that is both brilliant and sinister, a way forward in intelligence and a regression of the physical—our health suffers but our minds accomplish more than ever. And what will inevitably evolve from this paradox is devolution.” ~Cat Leonard
