From Press Release:

Informed by his design and research work, Eric Rannestad's art practice finds its language in contemporary methods of modelling the built environment. His emergent and reticulate marks are rendered in a lattice of sombre yet warming tones, swirling into forms that feel as much like tangled roots as they do digital circuit boards. Within this setting, geometric and figurative interventions are held in tension with the watercolour medium and are gradually consumed by the painting process. References to environmental interventions, thermodynamic systems, and human and artificial cognitive models converge as anxious, conflicting signals: an uneasy harmony and interplay of natural and built orders, rendered together as tangled stacks of structure.
