Within my creative process, I often end up with my hands and floors covered in paint. My studio is home to a hoard of found-objects which await to be showered with paint. From creating colorful constructions to ruining sentimental objects, my work continues to evolve further into formally experimenting with gravity. Throughout my design, painting, photography, or otherwise, I react to the rules and regulations of physicality: being bound to the earth. Everything falls eventually. Aesthetically, I gravitate towards forms that drip and sink, which pushes me further from traditional methods of painting or drawing. The relationship between my concepts and my materials is strategic, but the outcome is susceptible to change. A creative lack of control moves my work in a way that I can only direct. Stylistically, my designs diverge from my paintings in that they are observably cleaner. I maintain a minimalist approach to my design work which I believe allows my creative choices to breathe. I have an appetite for engaging both of the styles I've developed from my respective concentrations to create something aesthetically harmonious.Ruined: 3 minutes 6 secondsborn digitalmotion pictures (visual works)digital moving image formatsStudent worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
