In my recent work, the act of painting documents the struggle between our interior and exterior world, the visceral and personal as it relates to the physicality of our existence. My paintings dwell in the space between abstraction and representation, and within the canvas I strive to reconcile disparate states by morphing imagery to create a hybrid pictorial reality that serves as a dialogue between the intangible and corporeal, entropy and unity, devastation and rejuvenation. I have created these paintings out of a desire to explore phenomena of contemporary reality experienced as an intersection of place and cumulative experience. I’m interested in the contrast of physical presence with the fluid nature of memory and perception.
