Artist Statement

My paintings and processes operate as a system of regeneration, where material, memory, and speculative form converge. Each work is constructed through layered washes, marks and forms that function as signals—organic shapes and emergent symbols interacting within a shared field. These compositions play in the interface between terrestrial matter and expanded cosmic forces, treating earth and atmosphere as interconnected structures, seeking an aligned conduit for connection.

The work engages processes of wetness, decay, and repair as generative mechanisms rather than endpoints. Transformation is central: breakdown becomes nourishment, instability becomes structure. Color operates as an active agent—pastels, high-frequency brights, and fluorescent underlayers relate on surfaces that oscillate between softness and intensity, suggesting states of energetic transition and life below the surface, lit from within.

Through this practice, I explore integrated alignment of body and environment, material and immaterial, dissolution and formation. The paintings hold space for continuous becoming, proposing futures that emerge from the remnants of decaying current systems.
