Artist Statement
I work on multiple pieces simultaneously, without rushing to
complete a specific one, in order to reveal them organically. I
am not restricted to any one style: much of my work is abstract,
but I readily apply Pop art references and text. I do not perceive
artistic genres as unique languages, preferring to merge styles in
one body of work or, in some cases, one piece. For me, the work
is unified by ideas rather than visual similarities. I use figuration
less than abstraction, but when I do, I create visuals that precisely
express my intention in a way that abstraction obscures. This work
is satirical and pointed to me at the moment I am painting it, and
connected to the abstract pieces that I develop simultaneously. I
see the abstract as the material’s emotional counterpart. As for
scale, I like my work to envelop the viewer, since it expresses the
emotionality of the creative process.
