My recent two-dimensional work has at its center a preoccupation
with how material facts are enrolled in its illusions. The mediumsized
works, paint and mixed media on linen, employ different
strategies to scrutinize their own veracity in describing something
about the world. They all, in their own ways, leverage style against
material, material against composition, depth against surface,
and order against play, to create surfaces that reframe the facts
and illusions of pictorial space in a fresh way.
