My work is a process of discovery in which I intuitively portray the ineffable and interconnected qualities of existence. I am fascinated with systems and structures at the macro and micro levels that surround us daily and that often resemble each other when broken down into their most abstract forms. These resemblances foster new perspectives and help us understand the connection and detachment we feel as creatures in an ever-shifting world.
My process builds up and folds in on itself, mapping the journey of physical and metaphysical matter. Layers of paint evolve much like geological forces or patterns of thought, and possibilities open up as they accumulate and interact with each other to create new shapes and spaces. Through color, concept, and form, my work is ultimately meant to expose the inherent absurdity of existence, while also inspiring curiosity and wonder at our continuously transforming realities.
