“Within painting, I find purpose in world building across intersecting phenomena. My practice investigates the event of space as a ground for communication. I approach “the image” as a psychic and environmental tool; bridging material and corporeal knowledge. Questioning the thinness of the boundary that separates our interior experiences from the material planes we move through; Paintings are symptomatically constructed as tools for observation and translation. In this way, the work aims to interupt conventional usage of space.
My image making is a union between the visions of my spirit, and the capabilities of my body”
