By removing parts of the image in this figurative print, he explores the tension between what is present and what is omitted, focusing on the reasons behind these choices and their implications. The cutouts are then reintroduced as prints, paintings, sculptures, and large-scale murals. His curiosity and inspiration stem mainly from written works and everyday experiences, rather than from other visual artists. After conceptualizing an idea, he collects images, some of which are not cut until years later, to help investigate choices and provoke new questions. For Casey, the process and the work are interconnected, with each facet being significant and worthy of attention.
