Karlsberger's current work explores intersections of reality and fiction, and the production of narrative through sequential or repeat imagery. His process involves a combination of abstraction and gestural mark-making which aims to emphasize the interpretive role of the viewer. The work explores the simultaneity of accumulation and repetition, and approaches image production as a kind of visual language in which formal elements such as scale, mark-making, and line combine to either clarify or obscure content.
