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, envisioning an eco-empathic coexistence within our diverse habitats.
