I make paintings using a vocabulary of abstract forms. Floating
shapes disperse across the surface. They cluster in corners or
fall off edges, denying gravity and altering perspective.
I often find myself shifting between clarity and confusion in the
painted space, and I search for an arrangement of forms that
feels whole. I think about the dialectic relationships of stability
and instability, control and gesture, structure and chaos,
and through my work hope to give recognition to the fleeting
moments I see.
