In recent years, my work has revolved along the axis between the figurative and the abstract. Marked by a reduction of narrative and a growing emphasis on material and action.
Resembling the act of suturing or bandaging, the artwork is built layer upon layer through a gradual process of addition and subtraction, action and response, examining what constitutes covering and what constitutes revealing, both in relation to surface, as well as broader meanings.
The works can be read in relation to flattened architectural structures and compressed spaces folded within themselves.
Through a search between transparency and opacity, rigidity and lyricism, the revealed and the concealed, the artworks ultimately become the text of the work itself.
