Artist Statement

Recalling the aesthetics of minimalism and nonobjective painting, I readdress the notion of what is traditionally applied to canvas. Utilizing atypical materials, I mimetically enter them into a painting discourse by acting out a process or action on a surface. These efforts are a “tongue-in-cheek” performance involving painting in which the residue is inherently transient.
