Tactile, spatial, and built up of multiple layers, my work is an allusion to a memory. A physicality of a fleeting thought, these pieces represent my attempts in preserving and documenting a specific moment before it has passed. I am captivated by the passage of time and the way in which we as people interact with and influence our environments. I believe we are constantly constructing our own unique and individualized realities. Translating a vast web of experiences, phrases, and textures into my own personal language, my work is an explorative and intuitive accumulation of lines, gestural and textural marks, and spills created with relatively uncontrollable mediums. Piecing together these drawn elements with collaged images and found objects, I create works that are largely process based and continue to develop and evolve over time. An immersive personal history and visual narrative, each piece yearns for contemplative investigation. Intimate and explorative, my art is a window into the textural, spatial, humorous, precise, and experiential moments that comprise my reality.Student worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
