Adamo Macri’s "jahrfish" technique explores contamination as a method to create art. The term contamination is used metaphorically as a fixed mindset of aggressive deconstruction and distortion. Components are broken down to provide raw material like an alchemical process, reassembled within a new composition changing the tone of what is considered familiar to the eye. This concept or mind frame can be compared to making a heavy-metal rock version of a jazz song.
