ARTIST STATEMENT

My art practice is intrinsically experimental, and its resulting imagery is subject to fluctuations due to chance and unpredictability. I cathartically pour and pull ink across my surfaces. The reticulation and striations from this back-and-forth motion, “drawing,” replicate nascent experiences and materialize as protean forms. As this action occurs over a given duration, I employ change and transformation as a construct to later classify and categorize the works. My recent bodies of work aim to address broader environmental concerns by intersecting the natural world with our human ecotone.
