My recent work explores simplified composition and construction, driven by nostalgia and deep memory. Through shape, texture and color I dive into story and my own history, processing my experiences, relationships and buried content. I consider time to be spiralic and by letting my inner world exist untethered to chronological time I am able to access multiple viewpoints of my own perception. My collages and paintings glide fluidly between the micro and macro, conceptually in subject matter and meaning, and literally in scale.

Fields of color allow a sense of depth, simultaneously masking and revealing the inaugural marks of each painting. Drips and splats offer the steady structure of time passing, streams slowly flowing, eternally carving. Swipes of line channel the energy of rocks hurtling through space.


Fully employing the quality of chance throughout my process I add and remove elements with equal measure. My method resembles a slowing pendulum; wildly swinging at the start and eventually falling into perfect balance.
