Mahaffee will present repetitions through sound, drawing, and video and are designed to take communication and pummel it into incoherence. Statement after statement is distorted and re-organized only to be re-introduced through the interchange of different media based on a central theme. Sometimes quiet, sometimes screeching, they originate with some autobiographical intent, only to be drowned out in continuous static. The resulting confusion reveals one crucial obsession; that any conjecture, no matter how honest or eloquent, contains within it the blueprints of its own destruction.
