Matt Johnson Art
I am compelled to draw the cell-tower. To me they represent individuals. Collectively, they are everyone I know and everyone I have yet to meet. The drawings are the remnant of the traditional portrait; fleshy, visual relationships that have been boiled down to the essence of the signifier. The towers are the connection to my world. A world that is resultant by my reliance on the cell-phone as communicator. This has led to a depersonalization of my relationships through my phone’s convenience. It’s a convenience that I’m addicted to, but it has created distances that I regret. For now, it’s only the towers that I can see.
