ARTIST STATEMENT
Beginning with my Blankey, I began
to animate inanimate forms through large-scale drawing. Recent figurative paintings
have led me to bridge the gap between depicting textures and manipulating them
dimensionally, in mixed media. My work is representative, but focusing on negative
space and form I de-contextualize imagery, creating abstraction. My experience in set
design has led my work towards sculpture- and my interest in installation arose out of my
passion for exploring materials and layering textures. Site-specific sculpture intuitively
exposes my vital interest in the trappings of space, often by including an experiential
element such as a “journey” through the piece.
