Artist Statement:

In Tempo Rubato, a rapid and sporadic flow of commercial imagery is anchored by the natural human disposition to posit facial and bodily features. The disparate characteristics of the source images – magazine covers, advertisements, publicity photos, and stock imagery – become a flurried average that both articulates and complicates notions of identity.
