The inspiration behind my recent work comes from a desire to consider my relationship to the natural world. My most important and profound motivations for making art come from everyday experience. In art and life, I’ve always been attracted to conflicting energies, rhythms and multiple events happening simultaneously.
I believe abstraction can touch upon something primary about our direct perception of being human. I’m interested in connecting the complex relationships between the natural world and personal experience as they relate to color, scale, line, texture and direction.
Ultimately, my process is one of building up and then revealing in order to find what lies beneath the surface.
