Artist Statement
Dancing to meaning is what interests me, tracking space and time
with marks and paint. My works are like selfies revealing bits of
me against the world. As an intuitive conceptual artist, I track
polymorphic knowledge against the seams of collaged actions
that can burst at any moment. Wrangling with a monster is the
most engaging process to conceptualize.
