My work exists somewhere between object and imagination. Built over time, through deep material engagement, I aim to evoke a sense of narrative through conflation of different tropes. By commanding the visual languages of painting and sculpture, I offer a poetic and visceral environment for the viewer to explore. My goal is to connect, through making, with the deeper, unquantifiable elements that guide our human nature.
My current exhibition, Flesh & Bone expands on this investigation. As the rudimentary building blocks of living things, our flesh and bone become the vehicles that contain who and what we are. Everything abstract about existence is supported and held by these visceral materials. This observation serves as metaphor and impetus for my engagement in, and creation of, the objects on display.
