Using both somatic awareness and a meticulous layering process, my paintings are a quiet whisper; a curled finger with a strange beauty, each beckoning the viewer to linger in a world of in-betweenness, balanced on an ever-sliding scale. Each body of work exists perpetually between knowing and not knowing. I use repeated motifs, including lightning, archways, illuminated spiders, and ellipse-framed portraiture, and lean towards these “familiar” emblems precisely because they are supposedly, categorically ‘known’. Like the most enduring fables, I approach these concepts sideways, slipping between the cracks shimmering in and out of observation, and massage them open. In doing so, I spin a web of contemporary fables about longing, desire, and the myth of the mind/body split. A sense of infiniteness builds to a crescendo, from which emerges the strangeness of sensations that are unfixed in time, in technique, and in their representation. Each piece, therefore, is an invitation to change one’s own perspective through a conscious pause and a (re)connection to one’s own sensorial perception.
