My work, at first glance, can look like chaos—a frenzy of movement scarred upon the surface. A closer inspection reveals a map in my mind. My work can be viewed as a rough, childlike composition. I rarely stay within the lines.
I’m very connected to the art, often having a story to coincide with the inception of the works, which is reflected in their title. My use of words and number combinations coarsely scribed into the paintings, while crossed out or erased, gives chase to their meaning.
I work upon many different surfaces at once, finding or constructing in an assemblage style of painting. Through an array of mediums and found material, I convey the tumultuous aspect of my art.
I use pallet knives and created tools to carve upon the surface a topography of textures and ghost-like imagery. This continuous struggle for clarity in my work allows me to dismiss rational thought and focus on the conflict of surface and texture.
An important lesson I’ve learned through being an artist is always to push forward. Climb that mountain, chop it down, then mold it into magic. Continue to see the world through vivacious eyes and create.
