This small, 5x5 inch piece, "wine and dine," explores the interplay between fluidity and form, chaos and structure.
Through the visceral application of acrylic paint, I aim to capture the dynamic energy and unpredictable nature of social interaction, perhaps the ebb and flow of conversation and the loosening of inhibitions.
The vibrant, almost molten quality of the paint contrasts with the deliberate, geometric interventions of paper collage. These collaged elements act as anchors, disrupting the organic flow and introducing a sense of deliberate composition within the spontaneous bursts of color.

The juxtaposition of these contrasting materials and approaches reflects the complex tapestry of human connection – moments of free-flowing exchange punctuated by more structured or fragmented interactions.
The intimate scale of the MDF block invites close contemplation, drawing the viewer into a microcosm of expressive mark-making and layered textures.

Ultimately, "wine and dine" is an exploration of the sensory experience of shared moments, distilled onto a compact surface.
