In the 90's technology exploded…hand held communicators seemly replaced our human partners and tech toys are our constant companions replacing human contact and intimacies… and it seems miniaturization of our social habits have reached the bedroom…"smaller…faster...cheaper' seems to be a rallying cry. Hardware!… Software! Inter---Net!... World Wide Web!… Laptops!…Technology is everywhere, in the air we breathe to our home appliances…almost everything in the future will have a database and a computer chip it …maybe …even sex…Are we entering a bold new world or have we been here before or this is just an extension of our humanity… gone techno wild …from caveman geek to palm pilot chic…Replacement parts is a series of paintings that has fun exploring this period in our humanity.
