ARTIST STATEMENT
"My work has stemmed from a desire to understand the scientific and mathematical systems used to describe the natural world's forms and workings. Systems such as geometry are the foundation of my visual language. In my practice, I create space for personal expression and investigation. Through my work, I aim to reconcile the geometric, analytic worldview, and my embodied experience. My process over the years has become largely intuitive, and my forms are discovered through making. I flirt with figuration and the body’s relationship to architectural space and structures. I am interested in creating a looping experience between perceived interior space, volumetric form, and the painting's flatness. I want my work to have a sense of monumentality and intimacy. My use of color is informed by memory and emotion. I aim to create clear, solid images, yet open to what viewers bring to and discover within the work."
