About The Show
My paintings are the result of an ongoing interest in the push and pull between choice and accident, object and image, and the action of seeing.
When I layer material and color, the process results in images that lay somewhere between references to the body, buildings and landscape. I love the logic and structure inherent in architecture, agriculture, and urban development and use it as a foil for visceral intuitive form - a house for the body to push up against, a restraint. The process of negotiating disruption through construction is meaningful to me and offers me solace during this crazy, seemingly out of control time in our world. As a result, I have been thinking a lot about intersections, accumulation and layers, and how our bodies similarly intersect with the world: biologically, physically and emotionally.
I am not interested in representing literal “landscape”, or “bodies”. I am interested in using these sources as structures to frame questions about our changing environment, my body, other bodies, human intervention and emotion.
