The ideas of circulation and flow, and how these words are used to describe my creative process, have become integral to my artistic practice. This circulation of energy -whether positive or negative- in response to our daily lives and the circumstances of our current political and social climate affects each of us. My work, by its nature, is fueled by this energy via my emotional and physical state, and the process of creating is like a rediscovery of who I am at each moment I come to the canvas.
The “Flux” series is catered towards a designer aesthetic with a more muted color palette compared to the usual vibrant series. Also incorporating metallic paints into the work, the various meanings of flux are represented within each piece as well as throughout the entire series.
This flowing energy between myself and the medium creates delicate figures that dance and attempt to convert energy into physical form. Within the act of applying paint to canvas and styrofoam there is a constant flow that reaches to establish levels of connectivity within myself, my art, and the viewer. This dialogue between art, artist and audience creates a narrative that flows continuously.
