Artist Statement

I work across various modes including sculpture, painting, installation, and video. The drawings begin as one line that loops and intersects itself throughout the page. This outline or map gets filled in with oil pastel or oil paint, the shapes intertwining in a cyclical and loosely systematic way. I view the drawings as a vocabulary of texture, physicality and composition, and I am interested in thinking of their combination of color, texture, and arrangement as physical objects within a space. Evocative of posture or bodily interactions, each component relies on the others to balance, creating a fragile state of precariousness.
