Artist Statement
Paintings are bizarre spaces that work as both windows and
objects, generating references and experiences. You cannot eat
paintings and they aren’t fiscally responsible, but they embody
the quirks of human psychology, including both the brilliance
and ridiculousness of abstract thought. How many games of
tic-tac-toe can be played? How many paintings can be made? It’s
just semantics . . . and syntax. A lot comes out of nothing.
