My work is born of the land and its forms, both macro and micro. As a child I preferred the company of trees—neighborhood games of hide and seek were an opportunity to be consumed by the forest, lost in the wonder of an unfurling fern or the grisly horror of a rotting animal carcass.
At my core, I am a painter though my materials and methods vary. I draw inspiration from observing complex and interdependent systems in the natural world. I often utilize an underlying set of rules to initiate a work; however, resolution of a piece is intuitive and emergent from exploitation of the physical properties of the material.
Liminality, a threshold between two conditions or states of being, is an important idea to me as I wrestle with the reconciliation of binaries. I think of my work as existing in the liminal space between waking and dreaming. Motifs of mountain, water and cloud are characters for my exploration of Form/Formlessness, Time/Timelessness, Stasis/Flux.
